TUS-PHX might be nice, but my money is on B6 pulling out of TUS sooner than later. 4lowed

At least we've raised the ticket prices since then. 4lowed

Isn't true we can bypass a recall to the 190 indefinitely? If you don't find out until you get there, how can one avoid 190 FO on recall?

Hi All, Does anyone have any information on crashpads in the Orlando area? Thanks for any info. you can provide. Feel free to PM me with any details. 4lowed

USAIRWAYS, The E190 is certified for 100 seats. Even if two had been removed, it still would have needed cabin space for wheelchair stowage. They tried that little end around, and it was rejected. 4lowed

All, There is quite a bit of speculation that MAA and the ERJ170's will soon be spun off. Not one of those planes has a STAR alliance decal scheduled to go onto it. 4lowed

All, The latest from Flt. Ops. is that we will be putting stickers on the cockpit door that read "Our Drivers Carry Less Than $20". 4lowed

All, A new software load will be out shortly to fix most of the glitches. The cane does not hold the door open. It is only used to release the cam locks that hold the door up. It is stored in the cargo hold when not in use. 4lowed

The emb170 sims have been fully certified for the type rating since December when we all got typed. 4lowed
