Curious where the bus flying is shifting to.

The last Sfo 777 fo bid went down to #8968. If there are no backfills, we may not break the 4000s on this one.

Look where the vacancies are for the Bus for future flying, because it won't be in D.C.

I am teaching one of these right now. It's seems like a pretty low stress course for the most part.
