Question for AAI Guys

[OldManPilot]

Great islands, no customs, no immigration, Duke's, The Shore Bird, Moose's -- all on international per diem. Gotta love the Aloha State.

My 3 favorite hangouts. Moose's for $1.50 Mai Tai. Shorebird for my self-cooked steak and Lobster. Duke's for burger and beer. Could life be better.

Hawaiian Islands are coming ASAP. After talking to a chief and then corroborated by a union guy, ETOPS negotiations will probably start when/if the -800 side letter is wrapped up and the AAI deal is closed in 1-2Q 2011. Gary has now stated that he's worried about Alaska's growing market share to the Islands. I also believe that we could start ETOPS proving runs as early as fall, next year with some borrowed -800's.

Yea a buddy of mine told me it was on SeekingAlpha.com. Early as 2015.

I saw a SWA captain today wearing a hat. You guys got hats?

 

[Flying the Line]

Every story about flying with an a-hole starts the same way. I was flying with this hat wearing captain...

 

[GuppyWN]

Long sleeve shirts are also a tell.

Just sayin',
Gup

 

[Slug]

Ain't that the truth, Gup? I dread long sleeves more than hats.

I ain't never seen a pilot with long sleeves that was worth a darn. I can't even drink a glass of water around a sleeve wearer, or a midget, or antique furniture. )

 

[Lear70]

Can I wear a sweater then? 'Cause some of you fat-*** Captains freeze me out up there. Seriously... Some of us who actually work out and maintain a low BMI don't fare so well when you have the front packs dialed down to 60 degrees.

I'm just sayin',,,

Try rolling up short sleeves. No your talking super sexxxy!

Hmmmm. I'll cut you some slack ON HERE because I like your stuff. On the line, however, I will make fun of you relentlessly.

And Lear, DUDE, nobody wears a sweater. NOBODY.

Very disappointed to hear you wear the long sleeves spc. I'm not sure I'll be able to drink beer with you again.

What's the deal with the coats? Leather or polyester?

 

[j41driver]

J41driver was being sarcastic...

At least someone picked up on that...thanks.

Leather only, Unless you are one of "them"...

I wore my Polyester one once because my leather one showed up 5 sizes to big, Everyone was asking me where my hat was "Check FO"?
