Close - it’s actually the distance between the center of the earth to the center of the sun. One thing I remember from astronomy class .

Thanks for the info! Upgrade time less important to me than being in Denver.

A parallax arcsecond, or parsec, is indeed a measure of distance, not time, but a certain pilot in a galaxy far, far away claims to have “made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs”. How can this be correct?

Possibly we all misunderstood his brag. The smuggling pilot might not have been referencing time, but in fact distance, as his ship was claimed to have the best Sat-Nav database in the galaxy. Able to plot a shorter path through hyperspace, without celestial collisions, using black hole-adjacent paths and exploiting what WE call “Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.”

Soooo, the unit of distance reference might, in fact, have been appropriate.

One could speak of speed of movement in my favorite velocity units, furloughs per fortnight. You could also use that for your aircraft speed, as well.

Yikes. It's under 7 years currently at UAL and I've got to assume under 16 at SWA. Just food for thought. Everyone's looking for good pilots and good people right now.

Be careful. The LIDO databases have multiple asteroid fields. Some may be duplicated....

plug in DEN is a 2010 hire for SWA CA. Should come down quite a bit, hopefully, as the base doubles in size next year with the new gate expansion.

For any FO’s that are frustrated with seniority issues in DEN I highly recommend they go to United or SWA

Yeah..... im not so sure we are going to double the DEN base. Unfortunately

I took that as SWA doubling DEN not us….could be wrong though.
