It'll be out shortly. All vacancies to LAS from what I understand.

Not sure about the CUG's, but should be 16 NH's. As for more than 7 airplanes, that rumor is always running around. I guess there could be some truth to it but your guess is as good as mine.

Oops, I lied, Denver to AZA flights are mentioned, I must have read the thing too fast.

Anyone heard this, our own "Pilot in chief" called a pilot (CA and or FO) during rest to try to confirm a lighting strike saying:

"Astronaut" -We got you on flight track flying to close to a cell-

"pilot" -whatever- and hang up.

"I say" -and since you called, tell the scheduling boys to look for a pilot for tomorrow, you just disrupted my sleep.

WWWWhat?

Or is this just a recurrent rumor? I don't believe ANY of our chiefs would do this, specially another pilot.

"The Astronaut" did convince a crew to fly after they called in fatigued. I don't remember the details but I'd like to hear the reason they changed their minds. Then explain that to the FAA if they look into the matter.

I think the Crew has no personal defense on that, once you call it, it's done, unless there was no documentation, no tapes and just a one on one conversation, witch I doubt.
