Only a few want to go to the 717 due to the pay cut and quality of flying it does which is the same or worse as the 88 currently. Totally unscientific and probably wrong, but it was interesting to get guys takes when JS to work. We shall find out soon enough.

I’ll commute for a >$50/hr raise (NBA->WBA). The 7ER does not meet that criteria.

80, here's my take. No matter what, the secret to when the award comes out, is based on the #9.

If it posts on Friday the 29th, which I believe it will, because 29(2+9=11 and 29-11=18 and 1+8=9!

Ok, what time on the 29th. Well, no sooner than 9 am but anything after that is based off 9!

12 noon?

12(1+2=3 and 12-3=9)

5PM (17:00) (1+7+0+0=8 and 1700-8=1692 and 169+2=171 and 1+7+1=? 9!

9 is the secret.

Most pilots would agree to that logic. Some of the ATL M88 pilots are already commuters and would simply be changing to a different commute. The threshold between ATL/NYC is likely lower for them.

M is the 13th letter in the alphabet

M-D or 13-4=9

Let's also include the significance of MD 88. M-D = 13-4=9 and the 8s cancel each other out.

I’ll set the line at noon Thursday and bet the over....I think 1500 Friday the 29th.

NET Friday... The last 365 bid was Jul 2018 AE and took a week. Though MOAB I was 5 days...

1659 on Friday the 29th.

Hit send on email....turn off light...go home for the weekend and allow pilots to work themselves into a rich lather as they review the results.

That's what they said in C-130 initial qual. If you don't know the answer, just say 23.
