    Modified the level of gas in the tank
    Could it be recreated as a sticker, you know...for the tailgate?

    I don't have an image of it. But presumably with enough effort it could.

    If you fueled up at Atlantic ADS, that'll get you another $4.

    Forgot to post this pic of Philippine Airlines 77W that suffered a compressor stall getting a GE90 replacement two weeks ago after she sat at LAX for a month.

    Oh yes we sure took the double reward points in Aspen!
    That’s cool, sounds like you’ve been busy!

    I kind I miss getting the fuel rewards. I bought a bunch of tools during that time with what felt like fake money.

    And 800+ hours is daily standard at a mainline airline. 13 days a month of flying is a lot less than I did during my charter days. I feel like I’m home all the time.

    Southwest guys fly a lot from what I’ve observed with my family. I’m only working about 10 days a month at my 135 gig. I’m really enjoying it so far

    Oh that’s not too bad. I was doing 20+ days a month at my old job. My most was 28 days in a month. I don’t recommend it!
    SWA has the flexibility to fly a lot or a little, depending on your preference due to our bid/trade system. I’m a bit on the fly a lot side because California is an expensive place to live/raise a family.

    That’s awesome! I’ve got friends up near Newcastle and Forster. Looks pretty smoky up there
    I’ve got a buddy who flies those birds

    Happy New Years everyone. Just joined TW about month or so ago and finally have time to reply to this thread. About myself....caught the flying bug at a young age from my dad. He flew in the USAF in the late 50’s to 1965 (C-124’s). Then on to Delta and flew everything from C-46 to MD-11 when he retired.
    I started flying in March 1987 while in college. First corporate job was flying an AC-690D(turbo commander) then to another company flying Citation II’s and a Hawker 700. Present job is with NetJets. Spent my first 16 years in the mighty Hawker 800XP/900XP. Transitioned to the Citation Latitude 3 years ago. I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve never had to move for a job, always based out of PDK.

    John
