I'm not a CA, but I've been doing this for three decades plus. Empower us to fly safely, ask us to do gate PAs and represent the company, I actually get all that and am board. NOW, we wait for all of the ACS elements to perfectly align (i.e., we can't canjole them into action as we almost always have to do), and WE'RE frikkin late?

But a phone call? I guess we know what the new crisis du jour is.
I guess we need a new line check blitz.I think we should get those phone calls when we are reviewing the performance numbers, just in time to be confused on whether or not the "flaps" were called for. If you answer they can also gig you for forgetting to turn off your cell phone.

Taking 13 more airplanes on the 88 side and not planning to add any positions??
Displacing the rest of the 767 category and not planning on adding any FO positions? (there are well over 100 767 FOs)
Displacing the entire DC-9 category, planning on starting up 717 flying in the same conversion while wanting to sustain DC-9 flying but can't train many people on the 717?
That memo ain't right...

Yep... reading that crew resources memo, things just didn't add up. And I can't quite put my finger on it.

I was watching The Big Bang Theory. I've never seen a full episode. Now I've seen 4 in a row. it reminds me of this place except no Penny.
We should have a Penny. I guess we can always just post pictures of their Penny I guess?

I think the DC-9 category's are sticking around, at least until the next AE.
That is, until I am proven wrong -- again.
