Figure that we lost 130 DC9's worth of flying (gulp).......that's a lot of mainline.
C'mon, you know that it wasn't Scope, that feeds the mainline, makes us more money that the Co will in turn give to us... It was all work rules, Yeah, that's the Ticket!

And I believe the M88 has more trip variety than the DC9 as well. (countless GRB,CMH layo in the DC9 bid pack)

What is the general consensus for MSP? It seems like it's the northern version of ATL, where the trips generally aren't created for commuters, and the mentality of "commute is a choice" is running wild. I'm just trying to see if it's better commute to the west coast from MSP, or should I keep looking east bound.

Ahem.... we do NOW... check the -ER in NYC... domestic trips.. noncommutable on both ends.

Check, I wish I had the patch in your av when I was in the AF. I was definitely the poop magnet. That's why I retired a Major. :-)
