Long sleeves and no under shirt I presume?

There is no better category than the 88B to wear no undershirt with a long sleeve work shirt and a black tie. None.

Seems like it would be way easier to implement a reduced dog retirement schedule than to try and prop up the regional sector which requires way more pilots per seat mile.

And even if the "first batch" was somehow earmarked for that, the first batch will be just as delayed relatively speaking as the last batch as the whole thing slides by at least years.

I still think dogs and used lift found elsewhere will be the more likely solution.

With respect to this, why are glass airplanes and automatic everything "better" from a pilots' perspective? Just curious. All this badmouthing of the 757/767, but I'd rather fly those than the 777/787. jmho ymmv.

Its a nebulous issue so assuming you're right about that and we do get final resolution in Feb, then all it will be is a few month delay. I'm very skeptical that we will know for sure by then, especially a positive outcome (for us).

Their biggest advantage (by far) is that they were VERY cheap from a labor standpoint. That has risen significantly. Its not a matter of them "collapsing" or not. Its a white dwarf star model that continues to cool.
