just wondering

Always push it out. Give it a few minutes after the APU has started then you can push it back in without smelling the fumes.

Some were doing that but it was quickly stopped by flight ops, something about not SOP. It’s easier to just snort in the JP then try and explain.

They didn’t pull NR benefits until midnight of last night.

They booked tickets to a OO domicile, and let you go from there. I believe it’s contract... but I’m a new guy.

The statement on the travel bennies was a little unclear as to exactly when they would stop. I wasn't immediate as some are implying. I drove to training, but all the guys I know of traveled home with no issues of any kind so long as they got out before the doggone earthquake...

Where are you seeing this? Is there any announcement? Or for that matter where are you seeing the rumors?
