If you go to shuttle you can replace your company manuals with a kindle fire but you still need to carry your jepps. However you can downsize the jepps by carrying only the company required airports. If you use a regular sized flight case this will leave plenty of room to pack a nice lunch pack inside.

Thanks for the info. That's good news about the Kindle Fire...guess it's a cheaper alternative to the Ipad.

Don't actually buy one though....the company is going to be issuing one shortly. It will replace your GOM/POH.

CMH, PIT, DCA or IND..maybe PHL. I'd go with the first three though.

Don't go there... No contract for forseeable future and miserable one now. Reserve might be external as well.

I know I have asked about it before, but trying to get GSO did you just forget to list that one?

Thanks

I was hired in Feb and just found out I'll be getting ATL in Oct. So it is possible with all of the movement for the Q400s. I'll probably be on reserve forever (or until it closes)...but I live there.

S5 as a whole is really junior. If and when a contract comes, expect mass exodus of 145 FO's to come over to the 170. At the moment I would rank my class preferences as follows. Q400, CHQ, S5 then republic. (Remember republic is tied to the 190's. F9 is in a holding pattern so we are hiring to cover attrition only.)
