Officially the end of an era, for me...

Hi Andy. You can come out of stalker mode now. People would love to hear about flying the P-8.

Sounds like it sucks, but it doesn't?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

So I was corrected by a wise Captain...this is a classic, so not the plane I'll be flying. Google failed me. Oh well... I did receive my study materials though, so see y'all in a few weeks!

It's all in electronic form also. I figure this is probably the last place I'll be where they hand out manuals, so the 747-400 isn't a bad way to close out my manuals library...

I was gonna bring it up, but I figured you’d catch it eventually.

I had a bit of a cringe looking at it. Not because it’s a classic but because the hump is identical to the freighter. Now if it were a BCF...there’s no cringing.

The paper manuals were a nice change after your eyes burned out from staring at the iPad for so long.

Do you not even know the correct effing airplane it is you're flying, Pyle????

Effing big, hump on the back, no windows on the sides - gotta be a cargo whale of some sort

PS length of the hump and scallops on the nacelles is about the only ways I can tell one whale from the other. But then I don't fly them and I'm pretty good at spotting the difference between 200/700/900

Congratulations!

Congrats Joe, bummer no more meet ups in Moscow though. That last one was fun

Rotation jobs like you and Wes had seem to be very rare.

Kalitta will be very different to what you were used to. Hope it is to your liking or leads to something even better.
