See? And people thought congress would screw this whole thing up. The rule seems to be working fine to me!

And therefore, the 747, being halfway between, is the perfect compromise for new hires

So you're saying it's a downgrade to go from a C-150 to a C-130?

I once told a guy "Oh, you fly a King Air? Thats a C90....I fly a C152...thats 62 more than yours...."

Point is, seems a little odd to go from a Cessna to an airliner. The system where you work up to it seemed a little more reasonable. Believe me, im not complaining. Works out great for us....lots of huge negatives for others....but great for us...

Guess that means a CRJ700 is almost twice an A380. Chew on that for awhile, after you finish thinking about contrails and flat earth.

How about the guy who was demoted from a B-52 all the way down to a B-1?

<CRJ900>, that's right, it doesn't get any higher ladies.
