yzf6, as I live and breath. I thought you'd be flying intercontinental for delta by now. Thanks for remembering the little people! When does this much-mythologized trip to STL happen?

The Belgian will never leave. He bought a new Audi S4, he can't afford to. I'm pretty sure that DITT isn't going anywhere, either. Of course I guess any of them could fly through a TFR with their wife in the plane tomorrow. Stranger things have happened...

PS. What's this "soon to be F/O" stuff, junior?

I still see that dude in DTS from time to time. Good man, he is. By the way Boris, what is the story of the TFR and their wife? PM if necessary..........

Tell me about it. If you ever run in to H.L. (CPS) out there in jet jockey land, get him started about the many months he worked at FLX and never saw the baron. It will end with violence.
 
Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me the BNA circuit ? I know they're full at present, but inquiring minds just wanna know. Thanks.
 
BNA is mostly Barons. Last I heard there were 2 210 runs there. That said, at the rate people are upgrading, it probably wouldn't take you long to get there. PM me if you like and I'll try to get an idea of what's going on down that way.

PS. If you're curious about what the runs entail, check flightaware. The runs out of BNA all start with a "3". For example, 305 is (I think) Nashville-Jackson-Memphis and then returns the same way.

Good ol' DITT. I saw him one day last year walking down the middle of the road in Destin. Use to see him every night in BHM a few years ago. First time I met him he was eating tomato slices from a ziplock bag.
 
I hate to be a company shill, but I talked to Gary on the phone today and he sounded so sad. I pictured him sitting by a phone throwing cards at an overturned hat waiting for the phone to ring. You can make a difference in one recruiter's life. With your employment you'll receive full color picture of Gary watching the college season on TV and not worrying about filling vacant runs. You'll also have the joy of knowing that you've saved a great man from the bottle. Please, won't you call now? 1800OPSKORL ext 610.

Upgrade's still at 4 months. Willing to at least consider all domiciles. Call today. Because there may not be a tomorrow.

He still owes me a case of beer for the last minute TDY last year in MKC.

And the last minute TDY last year in ORL.

And the one last Christmas in FXE.

And the one earlier this year in FTY.

And the one in CRG . . .

Ok, I'll stop now.

I WILL get my beer, though.
 
Don't think much has changed. Still understaffed, still a good place to work. I'm off to Air 1st to fly the MU2 in a couple of weeks, but I think maybe the bleeding has slowed down a little bit. That doesn't mean that anyone with 1200 hours (or 500) shouldn't call Gary tomorrow. He'll kiss you. Or not, if you prefer.
 
Boris-where were you based?

Im in Jax about to go to the Baron after 7 months, the only reason it took that long was i wasnt willing to move to nashville.
 
I'm a long term resident of the dog pound up here in CPS, home of The Belgian, and assorted other riffraff. And yeah, I forgot to mention that the baron upgrade has gone way down since My Day <tm>. Apparently one guy did his IFR checkride during his baron upgrade (he went to nashville).
 
Wow. You have 1700tt now and haven't gone to fly the RJ yet? We're losing instructors three at a time. I guess Flex is treatin you right. How's EW doing?

Yeah I actually have about 2000 now. I dont think I will be goin to the regionals lol. Probably do 6 months in the baron and then find a turbine job somewhere. EW just started the line this past week, he started on 275 but wants 205. I hear things are going down over at SFT. Is the flight school gonna stay open?

hey cr-
i took 1va to cdk this am. mh says they are getting a new chief inst. as ms moved over to the charter side and dane took a new citation gig elsewhere for better conditions and $$. they are down to 3 instructors now, i don't know what this means for the future as far as the school goes. i know they just got that arrow on line, so i think they are going to continue to go for it. congrats on the baron run.
rm.
 
Yeah it'll stay open. We're working through a backlog of inspections and engine changes. Another week or so and things will be back to normal aircraft wise. Hopefully some CFI's will show up :)
