Just as an FYI I got my type a week and a half ago in the 900 and Crewweb says I'm time off until April 1...so hopefully IOE is coming up soon. I heard 3 weeks sound about right from a LCA, anyone know anything different?

Does anyone no the probability of Northwest exercising more 900 options. Or is this going to be it for a while. If so when might they take additional deliveries?

Reducing more than half of the DC9 fleet, they're going to need to do something... Granted Compass doesn't have flowback protection like we do...

their any evidence to support that they may take more 900’s. Or is it just hope. Does bombardier have planes built and ready to go. Or will they need to build them if they place the additional orders?

How does the flowback protection work?

I would say call a OE scheduler before you go out of town for a while but I have tried and that is a dead end

. Just like the last time I went through.

As many flow down as flowed up. So far I believe only six or nine are commited to flowing. And that is the sum total of flow up. So right now only six or nine can flow back. Flow only started in Jan 08.
