Yes, it does. Regardless if you like, or dislike, the start interface, Win 8 is a really good/fast os.

Windows 8 makes a lot more sense when you realize they're going to touchscreen laptops. You wouldn't want Windows 7 for a touchscreen.

True, I have a touchscreen laptop and find myself using it more than I thought I would.

I recall you could have that forced onto your schedule

Agreed. We have had so many Volume 1 procedural changes lately all without the benefit of a mandatory DBMS popup bulletin (just a paper bulletin that you file in the front of your Vol 1, and hopefully read!) but we can have a mandatory bulletin for this?

I think most guys are on board with showing a little extra appreciation for our true "high value" customers. Some letter in our v-file might have been a bit more appropriate.

I saw a random name pop up on linkedin, the guy was a 2006 hire on the 748 for Cathay and it said based in ATL.

CX has pilot bases at JFK, ATL, ORD, LAX, SFO, and ANC. Unfortunately our last pilot hired on those bases was hired in early 2008 and that was the last vacancy as well. Now all CX pilots are hired through a Cadet program to be Second Officers(Cruise Pilots). Very few CA's in those bases. Quite a lot of FO's.

I read it too. I don't get the heartburn. Boss says when permitting, make a personal gesture to an occasional customer. Big deal. Maybe I'm just not as sensitive about stuff like that.

My condolences Bar. It's sad when a life, full of experiences, friendships, and dreams... is reduced to an acronym in an NTSB report.

RIP "FTE2", age 47, and crew.
