I rest my case.

I didn't count lines that dh home on 24 or dh out on 25 or 26. 757 - 36% A300 - 27% 727 - 40% MD - 39% Your numbers may very depending upon which lines you...

Sure it's simple. Simple for the company to screw up.

How can 10 F/Os be insufficient for the 727 on a Sunday afternoon? So I made a call and sent an email. I'll post the results when I know what happens. I called my FOA who suggested I email my ACP. Presto, schedule was changed. This was the first interaction I have had with an...
