How do you define which post is more senior. Seniority has nothing to do with longevity. I think we should get a FI moderator and use him as a arbitrator to come up with who's post is more senior.

While in YUM check out Beef Beans & Beer, used to be good place to get a steak.

Nice job on the E-descent! @ 4Min.

So FI's official position is DOH?

In other news, looks like SWA is grounding 81 -300's for inspection.

Before the FAA does.

More cycles due to shorter haul flying.

Flying in formation....holes in planes....can't beat free press

Youre not kidding!

Are you referring to the pilot's compensation or their airfares? Great job by the flight and cabin crew.

This might be the end of the 737-300.... Airbus anybody?

It will be interesting to see if there was a previous repair to the area that failed. Several planes from the past have met their fate with this kind of failure. This could have been real bad.

'Great job!' to the crew.
