is it time?

Can you say... FAT chance?

Since our J/V partners already fly them for us, we don't really need any.

Where's "soccer mom and the minivan?" i.e. (1+4) That's one of the funniest posts I've seen on here in awhile!

Could be. Since SabreTech bought Flightline, they're usually a month or two behind on every update to PBS.

I think I met md88Driver the other day in ATL. Can't remember for sure, as he was jinking and jiving as we all do when someone catches us reading APCforums in the lounge lol.

Every time I'm in ATL lounge, I walk around looking for some big tall guy staring at a laptop, hoping to meet FTB. I give the underboob hand signal, but no one will admit they know it. Some rambunctious 744 Capt was on my jumpseat the other day, but he claimed he knew of no "Carl", so I didn't ask any more questions. I'm pretty sure I'd recognize Buzz if I get to LAX, but I don't get out there at 2300 when he checks in very often. No one I bump into in PHX will admit to Ferdness.

It's actually quite hard to meet other APC browsers. We need a better code-phrase we can throw out there on the JS, something like "Brass Monkey" that's easy to remember and will be noticed by other APCers.

Ideas?
Would love to run into any of Youze guyz! I just don't get to ride on us very often anymore......in fact sitting at a USAir gate as we speak.

PS. So much for the reserve beard. Shanghai-ed!

Shortly after the fence comes down. Enough said!

Said the same thing for the 744. Mods done no new positions and there have been a small number of guys leaving. I think they are just getting the staffing lower over time rather than face all the training a displacement causes.

Wait, weren't we all taught to be good FOs?

"Clear right."
"You're right."
"Yes, it must have been windshear."
"Timbo will take the fat one."

I think it's time. We go fat.

Same problem. Tried editing my bids and it didn't help. Will call EB tech support tomorrow about it.

Ferd,

Sorry about the reserve beard, but not only did we share a cockpit once, I know I also bought you a beer.

FWIW, there were zero 744A pilots in excess of the min staffing formula for April.
