Interesting. Does this play into the SEA expansion? Replacement of CZ on the LA/SFO shuttle?

Source?

If you want to have a laugh, check out the reasons report for ATL320B. Soooo many guys avoid one or both of the "randy's," and we apparently just got a guy from DTW that is a walking sexual harrassment case. That's a lot of people to try to avoid on a 70ish pilot category.

I just backdoored my B and it worked! Felt great...except finding out that 3 out of 4 of my trips have at least one 5-leg day in it. I'm flying a 150,000 lb RJ that yells at me in a french accent.

Is this the guy that always asks the lead for a banana, then goes through the "Banana/Beeninya" joke?

If it's the same guy that I flew with on the 320 out of DTW, he did the same routine with every new FA crew for 5 days. I kept thinking it was a miracle that he hadn't been called on it yet . . . . some guys can pull off stuff like this, but this wasn't one of them. Otherwise a pretty nice dude, but his awkward meter was clearly busted.

That's got to be the guy. I haven't flown with him, but the guys that I run into that have just had to deal with him say he's great once the cockpit door is closed but you don't want to be anywhere near him once that door opens up. I know my day is coming.

I don't think the same can be said about that museum site however.
I grew up about 30 miles from there. (At the time, that seemed like the other side of the world.) That same area also hosts one of the most wonderful National Parks in the country, and I heartily recommend both if you are ever anywhere near the area. Nashville is only an hour down the road too. But back to the point.. the National Park is.... Mammoth Cave. Whouda thunk there might be sinkholes in the area? (Not saying it could have been prevented or that it is a dangerous area.. just that they are not that uncommon in that part of southern Kentucky... they'll fix 'em. Trust me, they know how in that part of the country)

Email the PBS Committee Chairman [email protected] to volunteer and help fix the problem, I'm sure he'd appreciate your expertise.
shiznit,
your reply was actually helpful, as I read recently they were needing PBS and rotation construction vols and was interested. Thx much!

Ok, if THIS is true, best news I've read all year. If I could hold up and down the W coast rotations, I'd bid to the 717 in DTW maybe... and hope for the 717 in SEA!

I think it would depend on what follow on pax are being intercepted, but it did not work out well for Reno going into MSP.
