CHQ's new CRJ's When do they arrive?

No $hit. Although I heard it gets kinda hard to walk with that much sand in one's vagina.

Nice dude, the openly gay Mr. Sulu is your avatar or advertisement?

Good luck flying CAT II's into IAH or anywhere else.... No beef with the CHQ guys. Dumb decision by CAL.

other than xjt, which other regionals can do cat 2? not trying to start an argument...just wondering if we're in the minority

Also curious, how often do you guys find yourself using them? After flying through some of the worst wx in the NE, I still haven't seen the need for it yet but it has only been 2 years. Maybe I don't fly to the right airports.

ASA does cat II.

Comair is CAT II

word around the RAH family is that the CRJ in CRP upgrade went to an April 2005 hire date

Actually the most junior I know of is a 11/30/04 DOH seniority #954/1602 (CRP domicile)

I'm a 7/14/04 DOH and heading to IAH.

Invitation calls have been made from crew planning, but the "official award" won't be posted til next week sometime.

I'll second that question...I've flown through remnants of 6 hurricanes and nor'easters in the last 2 years and the only time I've ever not been able to get in was due to fog in ROC, but we got in the 2nd time around. Yes, it'd be nice to do cat 2, but I'm just wondering when the hell we'd need it.
