Um, what's all this about a staple all of a sudden? As a Compass-er, I would welcome it, obviously...

Reference the previous page. The stapling has nothing to do with pilots. It was pure boredom.

Yeah, there were 70 guys on the B side of the 767 that VDed out. I just do not seems to recall that many people having projected training.

ACL, since my wife went home tonight and being bored I counted it all up. They are in fact all there. I actually may have miscounted because I had slightly more than 70 on the list. I think it was around 75 or so. Oh well, life will definitely change on the 757 domestic in the next five months.

I like the 320 trips. You can end up with anything from 1 days up to 5 days. Destinations on both coasts, as well as San Juan, Montego Bay, etc. Often no more then 2 legs a day, although there are some 3 or 4 leg days but in my experience they are rare.

Here is a 5 day from the Jan bid pack

Day 1: DTW-MEM, MEM-DCA 0530 report/1145 release

Day 2: DCA-MSP, MSP-CUN 0540 report/1451 release [26 hrs in Cancun]

Day 3: CUN-MSP, MSP-BZN 1534 report/2327 release

Day 4: BZN-MSP, MSP-MCI 1300 report/2038 release

Day 5: MCI-MEM, MEM-MIA, MIA-DTW 0545 report/1642 release

28:35 hrs credit

I enjoy the trips. I believe they are similar from base to base. Hope this helps.
