The Commander in Chief trophy will return to it's proper home at the AF Academy after dismantling Army Saturday. :D We may all catch the consolation game (Army vs Navy) in about 5 weeks.:p
FedEx poolies have got update packages from KD asking them to update their status/records/drug test/etc. Sounds like the Purple Machine is getting ready to hire again soon! Good news for poolies.
Anybody else seen the new TSA uniforms at MSP? They look like Jet Blue pilots with badges and no tie. Wonder what that cost us taxpayers to convert to the new uniforms and add that worthless badge? Badges...Badges...We don't need no stinking badges!

Bloomberg News...
The NWA/AMFA strike vote results are in.
Accept 1511 - 72.6%
Denied 583 - 27.08%
Abstain 3.0 - 14%
This is all that was posted at the local AMFA website in MSP. Does this mean the strike is officially over?
From the NWA MEC Hotline:
NWA informed ALPA today that it anticipates recalling pilots sooner than previously scheduled due to higher than anticipated flying levels. NWA said it plans on recalling 40 to 50 pilots for the remainder of 2006 and it expects recalls to continue at a reduced, but...
Does anybody have any info on JetChoice in St Paul, MN. I did a search and didn't come up with much other than their website (which is completely password protected) and a few old news articles from last year. Any info would be much appreciated. Cheers...ExAF
Last week NWA mailed 30 PNRs for April training and yesterday informed ALPA they will stop recalling pilots. They did say it was "temporary." What a roller coaster!
As we were departing LGA yesterday morning, we heard a Mayday call on 121.5. The mayday caller said an aircraft had gone down (can't remember the call sign) and they were circling over the wreckage. I was wondering if anyone in the NY city area yesterday knows what happened?
There hasn't been anything in the news or on the boards lately about "Stop Loss" and retention. I was wondering what is the status of Stop Loss? Also, if it is over, has there been a mass exodus or with the state of the airline industry now, is it going to be a trickle?
Saw the AC-130U referred to as "Spooky" on CNN today. I've always known the AC-130 as "Specter." I never worked with the "U" model though. Can any of you SOW guys tell me if the "U" model has its own nickname of "Spooky," or was it an error on CNN? By the way...in case nobody has told you...
Finally some good news announced by NWA at the MEC meeting today....Planned furloughs will be cut from 850 to 550. They also said they might start recalls in 4Q 02. There was also the usual caveat that these numbers are still subject to change depending on the economy and demand. At least...
