Apparently the 787 taxied under its own power today and looks like it even did an RTO. The overhead video made it look like a model.

I'd recommend taking a break from the 'most interesting man in the world' and sober up. Although he's interesting, you're coming across like a clown.

I've thought about MEM from LAX. I'm curious to see howthe LAX base will change over the next couple of years. Many new Delta guys will move into this base and I don't think we're more than two years away from seeing a 777 base to take advantage of PAC rim.

My 2 cents

If it rewards me with a lower % on my equipment or one paying higher rates I would consider the commute to one of those bases.
I was talking to one of my new hire classmates who is planning on moving to MSP. He has lived in ATL > 20 yrs.

I think it may be worth looking at. There are going to be a lot of people that will have a better QOL if they got out of ATL for a few years. IMHO it is going to go quite senior.

Is it too late for MD to still go back into the civilian sector, I'd love to see what a MD99 would look like.

ACL,

You mentioned that MSP will maintain a large presence. Any inside rumblings as to what aircraft will be based there, other than the -88 and RJ's?
