Fantastic book!

Easier to do with several 175 programs under the roof, copy paste.
Don't think anyone would let WN take a look at a 320 program unless,
hmm...

Wasn’t copy-paste, regionals aren’t sharing programs when they want each other gone, Xjt was on its own. I think some places just have more vision and ambition and fewer people saying no.

However, the point made earlier would be the availability of canairbus orders, and I don’t think the -E2 fits our needs.

Relax guys, the MAX will come back stronger than ever, we'll throw some free points to the folks that don't know any better, and we'll be fine with our all Boeing fleet

He's hilarious. He cares more about our threads and company than his own (Hawaiian). It makes sense to me though. I'd be nervous too.

On another note, I was told that when the Max is cleared to fly that we'll start with taking brand new ones since they should be ready for delivery once all the required training is completed.

And yet you can not resist from responding to every single post....

BTW, how many regional posts you gonna include yourself in on? I mean you don't work at any of them so

I get it, it wasn't that long ago you were flying the 175 or -900 or whatever they fly nowadays...

31 outta 71 posts on the one HA thread are from SWA pilots... should we just start a sub forum over there for y'all ?
