Wish I could claim this one.
Apparently cinnabun has a self life on their buns. A buddy of mine talked them out of a bunch of them, maybe 10 or so for free. He was flying with an overweight smoker Capt and came into the cockpit with them, told the Capt they were free and to help himself...The Capt ate every one of them.
That is a slow way to die.

I love the Atkins guys also-last trip the rather robust CA ate a huge 4 pound styrofoam box of teriyaki beef and chicken dripping in sauce saying, "It's helping me lose weight-see, no rice.".

It's nice to have the job early, though, even if the next step is stagnation. Several years of longevity and stuck at bottom probably trumps several years at a marginal regional, at least for most people.
So it's more like a credit card that pays you interest on the money you borrow.
For the record, I am generally against expanding capital on early outs, except if I thought there was a high likelyhood of a merger.

Some people can't take a joke, and keep grudges forever. Move on son, move on. As far as the upgrade goes, you either can hold the position or not, and you can either fly it or not. If I get an upgrade and move to NY, and I pass, I'll make a lot more than now and I'll enjoy it. You can continue to be a cranky jerk if you want to, I don't care.

Some captains I've talked to predict two AE's close together. One in August for the early retirement replacements, and one in October for staffing the additional MD-90's and new 737-900ER's coming online. Also predictions are hiring in the 4th quarter.
I had hoped that this contract would cover hotel costs for new hires in initial flight training, but I don't think it was addressed. It was one of my comments in the contract survey. They're cash-strapped as it is, and just because we had to do it doesn't make it right, or not worth changing, and yes I would be willing to give something up for that.

Also I'm throwing some money on a MCO base for the 717. How senior will it go?
