hey I’m an optimist so I want to believe your rumor but it seems kind of far fetched.

Those are medical offices. How will they fit giant simulators on hydraulic struts in a building designed for dermatologists?

Not enough to switch seats by the 10 year point, which means you my friend are still on the hook for a big meal and some cold ones.

And you’re presuming that nobody will bypass anymore, and that all BWI, MCO, ATL, MDW, DAL, HOU FO’s will happily commute to LAX or OAK and lock themselves into it for 6 bid periods.

Yessir, that’s some hardcore....

Nah, I still wouldn't even hit the 60% mark (although with medicals and regular retirements I probably would, but by the skin of my teeth). So I think even with bypassers it would be a nail biter.

Well see that’s your problem. Stay out of the CPO. When I get to my last flight the day I retire and the Chief comes out of his office. I want his last words to me to be, who are you again?
