P.S. Manhattan is a must for me for personal reasons. Thanks for any insight!

Wait, Delta pilots make enough to live in Manhattan?

I don't mean to brag or anything, but I'm undefeated in the airing of grievances.

Close to 2 million people live on that small island and they're not all millionaires. Its expensive, but any 2+ year DL pilot could make it work if they really, really wanted to for some reason.

I know a more senior 767 CA that moved there with his wife when their nest emptied.

He said he's having a blast.

BTW, here you go: Why the College Football Playoff selection committee gave Alabama Crimson Tide the nod over Ohio State Buckeyes

For the record, I did see ESPN post a graphic giving UA the slight advantage of SOS, but the real problem is how/when do you measure the opponents.
UA beat FSU on opening weekend when FSU was #2, but finished no where near that.
The BIG 10 teams seem to always get slightly higher rankings so even though they struggle in bowls, the strength of schedule can be skewed by that.
Happy Festivus!

Exotic dancers can afford it also.

The Feb/Mar bid is being moved up. Should be late Dec to early Jan. Mostly widebody slots.

According to FB's "Top Men" contact, there will be a 350/narrowbody FO-only bid with no backfilling in Dec. But the JAN/FEB bid is moved to mid-Feb. Are you hearing something different?

That's halfway what he said. He said the 350 one moved up along with NB vacancies...The 777 and 330 stuff remains in Feb.
