Back on track…..
this las year has been unprecedented. I just hope they don’t shut things down again. From furlough to captain back again and making a “profit”. Crazy to think so many unfilled 777. Just a few years ago, it was virtually untenable to for a post merger to hold wb.

As far as unfilled WB FO positions? There are still quite a few 777 FO unfilleds in SFO and EWR.

Could not agree more. Never understood the point of snapshots at all. They’re all just names on a page. Only thing that matters is where yours falls which you can dictate with a percentage bid.

The way they spruced up the drive from downtown Beijing to the Mutianyu section (closest) of the Great Wall was ridiculous, it looked like something out of Disney.

No snapshot update until Monday. And the final's on Friday.
I suppose we can talk about newhires getting the 777 out of indoc and ordering Porsches from the factory in the meantime.
Or we can have a couple of RJ lifers opine how China rulez and the US droolz while we wait for another silly snapshot. Neither of whom state that they've ever been to China.
