I like how you stretch the truth. Under your philosophy I could say TSA is done by 2019 because that is when all your CPAs end ( I know you guys are getting MRJs, but so far they can't be flown under any of the scope clauses because of the weight issue. Now I know they say they are working on getting the weight in to fit into the scope, but I will believe it when I see it. Hell they can't even get the Aircraft up and running.) Yes all our CPAs end by the end of 2017, but they all have extensions clauses in them. Plus my sources are not regular "joe line' pilots. I can tell you that XJT will be fine. There is a lot that is going to change in the next few years. You just need to stick to the facts about TSA because you look like a fool spouting out stuff you don't have a clue about. Plus if I had to guess I would say that XJT will not be flying bigger than 50 seat ACs in the near future. Now will we be a 2800 pilot group? No, we will be downsized. We have to to keep up with attrition. And by the way Endevour is imploding. They can't staff the flying they have, that is why our CRJ side is picking up some of their flying. Like I said before I think TSA will be able to staff due to the fact that you guys are competing for the pilots that will bail. You have TSA, PSA, Piedmont, Compass and Go Jets, and Mesa. I think it is a brilliant move by you guys to offer a program that ups the pay. It will cause the others to not be able to staff.
In other news.... How bout that jet stream the past few days?

I worked at a company in a non flying postition that used them and most guys just didn't care, but there were more that said they like them than disliked them as a chart, but many did not like all the charts you had to carry with LIDOS compared to Jepps, which is not a factor for us.

I'm calling you out because you're being a ninny spouting doom and gloom: violations, accidents, etc. You're going to have at least 6 months from the time you get your iPad until the Jepps go away. If you can't figure out how to use an FAA approved plate by then, well, refer to my previous post. I did the training and had no problem finding the information I needed to fly a STAR or shoot an approach.

LIDO or Jepp, the info is the same. Going to LIDO means going to iPad EFBs and no revisions, so it's a huge gain no matter what.

The issue about parking planes was asked in the public conferece call. So its not really a secret. We will fly the EPs if we can staff them. Their leases are CHEAP. You and I know TSA would turn them into MDT shuttles if nothing else.

Just go a couple pages back. I said I liked them lol. And I had to deal with the paper version which was crazy. Once you get used to them you will like them. Plus I like all the colors lol. Do the electronic ones still have all the colors like the paper ones?
