Look again. It was stripped except for part of the tail. Will still carry the Red Tail.
One boring paint job to another. Mourning the cheatline.
As far as the company is concerned, bid period 1 wont start till SOC.
Are you sure about that? The last thing I heard that they are planning to transistion to dal rules, bidding etc (the elusive BP5) starting with the 400 in the fall and the rest shortly thereafter. So, unless SOC were to happen before late this year, I would think BP 1 is going to be soon. I am sure I will be corrected, as I am frequently wrong, at least that is what the wife says.
