Thanks Buzz. I do get the flight ops emails. Hopefully, I get some good news soon.

How do you get notified that your fleet has officially changed over to ship sets and you don't have to bring your flight kit's to work with you anymore?

Big signs in the MSP mailroom stating June 5th as the last day for flightbags...

Just heard a reporter say United 990 flight that trurned back due to a fight in the cabin, was carrying 57 thousand tons of fuel. LMAO Wow, they must have added some serious fuel tanks since I flew the 767.

LOL- Not unless 1 ton = 2 lbs.
1 Ton (2,000) * 80 = 160,000 lbs.
