Reading this while my dinner is in the microwave…. Thanks Derg!

Think I’ll open a box of wine now.

Pffffftttt

If you think that is awesome I'm doing a SJC layover then DH in a full 737 in the worst seat imaginable down to Cabo for a 3 hour airport sit and flying back to Seattle.

Glad to know we're not the only ones doing really terrible aircraft swaps in international destinations

It's safe to say Derg's aircraft swap is better...

 

[Minuteman]

we get to go do a crawl-through of our new 330-900 with the engineers.

Good. You can force them to give a satisfactory explanation why the last few rows on the butt-end curve upward. Did someone screw up there!?

Then, uhm, why did the A340 need a center gear, but the A330 doesn’t?

And, and, why did they have the A320, A319, A321 etc., but there was no A331?

Congrats Doug. And the great thing about athleisure is stretchy waists on the pants.

That Cabo swap in the bid pack lately is getting some serious shade thrown at it from all directions.

And to stay on topic; I’m still scratching my head on flying into Toulouse with a Boeing.

I’m going to side track it real quick to vent about the aircraft swap I had in NAS, with an hour turn time.

They only fly Boeing there cause the MadDawg doesn’t have the legs for it

Ooooo cassoulet in France. You fancy! I see KGB in this picture, you just don’t see them yet

Jelly, this looks awesome!

As an aside, anyone know this history of the Michelin star? I could google it, but lets be honest, we are in the company of other pilots......like any subject, someone knows off the top of their head

Tire company trying to sell more tires by getting people to drive more. You’re welcome.

And apparently lots of champagne on the way back.

@derg be like “they have no idea I could fly this thing if I really had to”

Don’t forget the A318.

I’ve been picking up brand new Airbus’s from the plant with single digit hours on them; new aircraft smell and all inside. Unfortunately, a few have been having issues, so it’s good they’re still under warranty.

Is that In Grand Prairie?

Oooo sorry France is on strike. No plane for you.

at GTR, Golden Triangle in Columbus. The 125s are built there.

Still not a big fan of them, not for the main type of mission flying we do. They are good platforms for other mission sets though.
