Supposedly back when CommutAir had the Dash 8 a captain there chartered one for his wedding.

 

[Burrito]

I think I owe him $10 or something for a coffee at DTW...

Am I the only one who thinks we should actually do something like this for Doug’s retirement? We could totally do this.

And we all get to go on the trip too

 

[Sculprit]

That would be rad.

Only if he does “I am your Supreme Leader” stand up PA.

No! First thought was we need to do this for Doug!

 

[N826AW]

Only if he does “I am your Supreme Leader” stand up PA.

Ahem… “Servant Leader.”

 

[Inverted]

Please tell me the Servent Leader is the one retiring...

 

[Seggy]

Calling a Delta One seat!

 

[Soul Brotha']

Ahem… “Servant Leader.”

I prefer Supreme. It gives a Kim Jong Un type feel. This way you know he ain’t f’in around.

 

[Minuteman]

Retire? In this economy!?

Back when CLA was a much smaller company one of the more important MX guys (an actually knowledgeable, respected and on the floor lead) was going to get married in Vegas. The DC-3 had gone through a recent restoration and Clay decided as a gift he'd fly the groom and his groomsmen up there the day before as a gift. Apparently it was a very festive flight to Vegas from Van Nuys. The wedding went off without issue and the following day the new couple jetted off to their honeymoon and Clay flew a bunch of hungover people back to KVNY in a DC-3.

Is the APU Sheriff still around there at Southern Jets?

 

[DE727UPS]

Ah, the APU police. Sorry for the thread creep. UPS had this brilliant fuel savings plan to not start the APU on block in. MX would plug in ground power so no need for APU. Pilots were to shut the engines down after 90 seconds and wait for ground power if MX wasn't there. Sadly, now the cargo door can't open and the the ramper kids don't get their cans. It's all about the cans. Imagine 10 ramper kids standing around and the K loader guys just staring at the cargo door. Second thing was when they plugged ground power in after the plane went dark. Saw some weird status messages when that happened but we were heading for the crew van at that point.

Haven’t seen any in forever.

As penny pinching as Northernjets was, that was never a thing there.

 

[Bandit_Driver]

Going to need a A350 though... Derg could probably write it off on JC...
