I have many friends there and like the place. Always have. Doesn't mean there haven't been class A mistakes. Oh well. How's the arm? Still hurting from flying that beast? Did you get it looked at?
You can call not bending over and taking it in the rear from Momma CAL a mistake. I call it intelligent management. Don't know if you heard or not, but after the Skywest insult, err...deal, fell through CAL inked a new 7 year deal with XJT. Sooooo you still think we should've just cut those 69 airplanes loose 2 years ago? I know you think you are the end all-be-all when it comes to the business world, but giving 25% of your fleet to one of your closest competitors is NEVER a smart move.

Arm's great by the way, thanks for asking. Just played tennis with the girlfriend this morning. She looks great in one of those little tennis skirts. Made me totally forget about the elbow thing You got more than a year in the airplane yet?

Sorry I didn't make it "credible" enough for you by using the "proper" language. When I said the "guys I've heard from" I meant guys that I ACTUALLY KNOW, that I ACTUALLY flew with, that have gone on to do expat jobs.

Is that good enough for you? Does that make it more "credible" for you?

Not to be a gerk, but who cares?
If an opportunity was only for XJT guys, it makes no difference, if it is not, why should only XJT guys get to possibly benefit from it, your company is not the only one hurting w/guys wondering whatthe future holds...

So again, who cares if the thread is open under this title or another?

Regardless of pay, how is PARC getting around the JAA certificate issue? If the planes are JAA or CAA you can't fly them on an FAA certificate and getting a JAA/CAA cert is no easy feat.

I'm only interested because I've considered the move before; not as a part of this deal obviously.

Jenkinsin's, or do you do "Sleaze"side? I am old, so I go to Pt. Pleasant.
Or maybe there is something "new and hipper"? Belmar used to be it.
I betcha you go to Temptations, and hang out at that beach. What was that called? Where the guys were steroided out, and the girls hair teased out? Come on you know....
BTW, my wife starts as an Associate Prof. at Rutgers come Jan.
NOT in Afr. Amer. studies.
Environmental Studies.
Gotta bust your chops. I appreciate the rides from ya'll. Although, put some more padding in those jumpseats!!!! And D.C.'s ???? God my head STILL hurts!!

I almost want to come to NYC/NY just to meet you and see if you are as annoying as you are on here in person. I don't think its possible. If I do.. and your not as annoying as you are on here, I'll buy you a beer.

Real valuable contribution there, captchris.

It sounds like there is a work-around or waiver that can be gotten until 2009. After that it sounds like the EU is closing the loophole but anyone already working is grandfathered in.
