I actually used paper Lidos before and loved them. Maybe I'm just weird lol but they really make a lot of sense once you see it used electronically. Those Germans are on to something.

...ok I was 6 feet from the COO when he said those exact words about parking the EP's (now if you're talking semantics...the point still stands....the plan is for EP's to be parked but I don't know how many. Regardless after the everything is said and done...72 planes is the planned fleet size)

Jan. 5th class - I heard its around 25 total with 20 being CQFO's

So, is it safe to say that unless you were hired as a CQFO in one of the first 4 classes, you'll probably be in the right seat more than the left? Why so many CQFO's? Why not a 50/50 split for classes?
Thanks
