Looks like they found at least one charter for those Brasilias. Good 'ol Couche.

I read through that and couldn't stop laughing. I knew all of the people involved. Ugh, LOL.

Did they really fly a Bro from wherever, to HWD, to ELM? Long couple of days.

Thanks Ken, you master of articulation. Go back to doodling on your graph paper.

I wouldn't be surprised. That was a CVG crew likely on the extra Bro currently sitting in CVG. The funny thing is that likely wasn't set up by Ken. It was likely set up by the CVG base manager as he does the most charter stuff in the company.

I know why Craig mentioned the smell if the birds. Last spring a few birds flew into a bro. Maint closed the doors and the next day they found bird poo all over the insides of the plane LOL.

That's awesome. I always thought flying around those darn rats infected with all the different strains for lab testing was bad enough.

On the smell. I wonder if its worse than leaky tuna boxes in August

Oh I bet that's a blast. Especially if it was hot.

They're packed with dry ice.

Any chance to get a route from Oak to RNO out of training, or do people not want Oak due to the cost of living there?

I don't think that PA31 run exists anymore. But the 99 or 1900 run to RNO, no those are the 2 most senior runs at OAK.

Especially now that there aren't 20 pilots at the layover all day.

It is gonna be cold in that place this winter without all that man heat.

I almost felt bad about the Koreans being banished to the living room. Almost.

 

[Inverted]

I felt bad until I was the last one in the apartment and found myself on the couch while 2 FO's are sitting on the floor. Then I just felt bad for all of us.

WTF I leave their ass at the plane. They never go to the layover in SLC or crew apartment.

Went to ONT for a week once, apparently it was normal to take the FO to the hotel there. No thanks.

Dang, you guys are mean!

I figured if they wanted a nice place to sit for 10 hours that day, they'd stay home.
