Fwiw -

The Feds have approved our etops program - manuals and training.

All that is left is for them to observe a series of mock tabletop flights involving flight ops/mx/dispatch etc. Then 6 actual validation flights - some with planned diverts.

Once you see us doing the proving runs, we're just days away from adding it to our ops specs. I would guess before the end of January.

YOU might need flight suits and sunglasses, like Iceman at the O’Club, but all we need is Texas flag boxers, and some Lucchese boots with the Gonzales cannon stitched in the back. “Come and Take It!”

Why? Truth hurt or what? SWA acquires carrier that already operates in WATRS airspace and then proceeds to eff it up to the point where we get kicked out of it?

Ya know......kinda like Key West where acquired carrier was again operating successfully until SWA couldn’t make it work due to very limiting performance criteria no doubt in part to numerous pavement excursions over the years.

Interesting how service to Bermuda got dropped, too.

Man, I’d rock a flightsuit in a New York minute. One of the few things I miss about the military. However, I don’t believe Iceman rocked his flightsuit at the bar, I remember him being in his whites....
