Ah, I stand corrected, thank you. I wasn't sure what all would happen with the EPs.

Ep's are so nice. I was doing a couple Philly and Harrisburg turns and we were restricted to 46.

My personal best restriction on an EP was 25.

25?! Was the other engine deferred?

From what I gather so far, they're not the most popular airplanes in the fleet.

Heard back in the day of the old DEN flying we had an EP restricted to 16.

Is it just me, or has the LIDO training course been a huge pain in the a$$?

I believe it. I was fortunate enough to never get an EP out of DEN.

I'm also ecstatic that I got out before the LIDO stuff hit.

No airplanes are being parked. Some airplanes that have leases expiring will be replaced with something else if the company cannot come to terms with the lessors. This rumor got started because there was a discussion of leases expiring and some people assumed the planes would be parked.

Its really not that bad and totally worth what we get in return. It is a little silly we don't have the ipads before doing the training as it is clearly designed to be done with the ipad. This has to be a pear tree lane policy.
