I heard yesterday that the sleep room is coming out of that area too.

I probably should since it takes a SIDA to get back there. Since no XJ crew room there are fewer people heading back on a regular basis and it's more time consuming to get back there.

Hi there, I have not flown in half a decade and now thinking of getting back into flying. Former airline pilot with a couple thousand hours of 121 time. Will Endeavor hire or interview a guy like me who hasn't flown in 5 years? Interested in the LGA or JFK base since I live nearby. Thanks!

If it means no turning back on getting the Ipads, they can have that room!

You know the pilot shortage is getting brutal when they let the mil guys in the front door at the regionals!!! As luck would have it, regional flying is the only 121 flying I know so far...

Yep, Surprised we have to give up the bag room, though. Couldn't they have just taken our nice crew room there? I hate going to the crew room. Sometimes, more negative than a public forum. I've only been in the DTW CR 5 times in a year and a half. Of course the landscape was different that long ago, maybe it's different.

Could they even turn off the EFB now?
