You'd have to find a place to park them first. The Max has all the parking in the country tied up!

I thought it was established: they will be parked at nut tree airport in Vacaville.

That way the kids and will have something to do when the wife goes shopping at the nut tree plaza.

Great idea. Then they could lay some new track for the train, around the gear and under the planes.

I really miss the old Nut Tree restaurant, book store and bakery. The gingerbread cookies were fantastic. The toy store was pretty awesome too.

a year and half I see you were posting if you cal log your CFI time on the PIC column on air apps and now you are an expert 18 months later but you said you don’t fly RJs what do you fly 797s?

new guys echo the old guys, who learned from even older guys. There’s a lot of emotion and opinion in this industry. And there’s a LOT of repeated “facts” that aren’t based in anything except somebody’s mood.

Park them near the Southwest 737 Maxes in Victorville. There's plenty of desert to park them there.

Washington Dulles (IAD) to Geneva (GVA)

When traffic recovers, I’m going to bet that Kirby comes back to ALPA and tries to get relief on scope to put RJs on these domestic routes that were cut, Distegard Zurich and Geneva. Guaranteed.
