You're clearly uninformed and I'm leaving now. Good luck, do some more research.

My money is still on the FAA denying blowjet. The FAA knows they never should have certified Skywest or envoy so they just turn a blind eye in my opinion. You still have provided zero proof

Curious to know why you don't think we should have been certified?

Yeah, usually I do too, but they weren't up as of an hour ago...

So the ERJ classes have increased in size. Looking a the most recents awards it seems like the ERJ upgrades are about to fall off the cliff just as the RJ upgrades did a few months ago.

What do you want for proof? A signed letter from a check airman there with a picture of myself holding out shaking his hand proving we spoke? When they go in there I'll take a picture for you.

Certified letter from chuck Yeager. Sparky is mad cause he thinks he is the best pilot in the world when everyone knows I am.

Hold on, I'll check my latest email from TG, my CP or SAPA to get the answer.....

This is seriously one of my biggest pet pevs with SW. How hard is it to send out an email every 6-8 weeks with attrition info (like where people are going) and what upcoming class dates there are. Judging from the traffic the Gone threads get on the communist forum, it seems like this is info that our group would be interested in. Do they talk about this on our highly attended conference calls?

Oh and how is the PBS transparency coming along? Did it get lumped in with reserve proffering?

Sorry I don't have the answer for you Turbo. I usually write them down from the DVR's but missed July and August.

AFAIK the 175 doesn't have dedicated upgrade classes, everyone is lumped into class together be it transition or upgrade. I asked an instructor if there was going to be a short course for those of us already on the plane but I guess there's not enough of a need for one to be put together. Hope that helps clarify a little.
