Right, but am I understanding correctly that the current QX flying on the mainland would be forbidden by current HAL scope? Or do I have that mixed up?

You are correct.

Why would you think that I sssumr you can’t drive a manual? Obviously your generation had far more exposure to it. Difference is, the ones who still choose to buy and drive manual cars.

Manual driving doesn’t mean/make you a man.
It’s about control of the car, feeling connected to it, and making it respond to how you like it.
Autos are boring. Put it in drive and meh around. Electric with autopilots? That’s ultimate bore
My experience with autos, I floor it to join the highway. Once at highway speeds circa 70mph, I let off the gas to a normal amount. But the car doesn’t realize that. It still has the RPMs at 4500 assuming that you want more acceleration punching power. I can’t tell it that I’m done now. It’s fuel inefficient.
Manual? Floor it in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and then you can take it straight to 6th gear. My car does exactly what I want, when I want, the instant I want it
And yeah yeah, I’ve driven an iX electric car. Yes, I will give them credit. 60mph to 80mph is instant torque on demand. No lag, nothing. It just goes. In a manual, I’d have to go to 5th and then back to 6th, and even then the performance (for any ICE car, even autos) is not going to match or compare with a battery and instant torque.
Still, I love my manual.
Shocking news: The Gladiator drops the manual for 2025. That means the only pickup truck you can still get in the United States new is the Tacoma.
LONG LIVE THE MANUALS!

VP of flight ops sent out an interesting email. I guess they expect to get a few 737s starting in Q2 2025.

Saying that “we should see deliveries” in Q2 of 2025 is a bit of wishful thinking giving the current situation at Boeing. Q2 of 2026 is probably a bit more realistic at this point.

Well we sure went full circle from when everyone was going me a hard time and saying I couldn’t know what was going on with deliveries.

No, you’re getting a hard time because you keep saying downgrades and furloughs.
Production resumed last Friday. I don’t think steady deliveries in Q2 seems very far-fetched at all.

I’ve agreed with your analysis in large part all along, I agree that Boeing’s ability to deliver aircraft will continue to be severely impaired for some time still to come, there is likely to be fairly long term stagnation and if you are in the bottom 10-12% of captains you’ll probably be downgraded at some point. I think you’re wise to prepare for that as you say you are.

According to my source 8s to be delivered in Q3. If we had 9s in the factory/assembly during the strike we could possibly get some 9 aircraft before then.

I can say Narita.
But is it Inch-on or Inch-e-on?
Who cares, the real question is, are there Sbarros in South Korea? Or do I have to cross the demilitarized zone into the North for that?

I'm pretty sure I just said downgrades. A downgrade is pretty inexpensive. I did the 1 sim as a seat sub. A few of us at the bottom have already thrown in the towel. Furloughs would only be if travel demand dropped very rapidly during the summer of 26. They take a long time to pencil out.
I was looking at the odds as 80/20 for a downgrade. With the new numbers I'd look at it as 60/40.

Sbarro’s with extra bulgogi topping.

That’s why I listen to the wise words of Stiffler. “Just relax, take it slow and let the good times roll”. Whether that’s followed by a urine shower or not, nobody knows.
