[HA25]

Here's an interesting review of the inaugural flight:

got to fly the Sim the other day while in Renton, quite an amazing cockpit... seems to fly like any other airplane otherwise.

I bet both pilots were 64 "and a half".

Hope it was worth it.

The captain is one of the biggest dopes here - just over 63. The FO is a scab and a fleet manager - turning 65 early next year.

A United flight that was actually on time??? Wow, that IS a first.

Wow, a combined 2.5 years of service for all that training. Real smart!

But aren't they both part of the Phriend of Phred Program that would warrant something like that?

Since when can two over 60 pilots fly a 121 revenue flight together. I was under the impresion that you could not have an over 60 Capt. and FO

Don't shoot the messenger, that was just what I saw on the crew list.

Well it wouldn't be the first time a scab lied about their age.
