So no Ho Hiring.

Crap.....freaking ALPA for buying the company's Ho hiring plan in the first place. Congrats on the AE.

What if there will be no one junior to me in the system, holding 765B anywhere?

LOL! Barry W? No no no... Nice guy though. Albeit a tad intense for my tastes.

I'm a 2010 guy. I must have made a typo.

EGT said WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Had the ground crew disconnect the huffer just after they heard the KABUMF of the JT8D's imitation of a Rocketdyne F1. Went right into the aborted start procedure but ... eh ... ah ... Captain, there's no air for dry motoring ... .

Thought something was going to get very toasty back there, but it took it and remained in limitations even

My sentiments exactly when I left the 88 for the 757/767.

So this is interesting... 717A filled up, but there are 24 unfilled positions on the 717B.

I wonder what those might be funded with.

717 CAs.......or maybe FAs? FAs only need 2 more weeks of training, right? I hear we have a flow with Compass. We could bring them up. Nah. Let's just balance the crews by displacing CAs.
