Congrats, great news!

I_Money · December 12th, 2006, 18:05

Good stuff Doug - I am delighted for you!! Are they mostly 24 hour turns, you better hope so or Kristie will quit her job and be your travel buddy!

n57flyguy · December 12th, 2006, 18:06

But! I've finally been awarded 767-300ER International out of NYC! Not sure when I'll enter training yet, but I'm excited about the change!

Woo hoo!

I'll gladly give up the "thunder" for you sir!

Congratulations!

No more... "Hey Doug, I was connecting through Ashville today and I saw a Mad-Dog... Was that you flying it!??"

Not to contradict you Doug, but the most jr Capt I can find is NYC88A with a DOH of 04/02/98. Since I'm a Jan 2000 hire, , I would be most happy to be wrong, but.....

surreal1221 · December 12th, 2006, 19:30

Wow!! Talk about an upgrade. . . right seat Mad Dawg, to left seat Seven-Six.

Pretty damn smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth Doug Taylor!

Congrats!! What a nice Christmas present.

He's not a 76 CA yet! His bid was for ER F/O out of JFK

Bill decided not to bid it on this round. He likes driving to work too much

(No commuting) We'll see how the quality of lines holds out though, if the schedules go to pot, he may bid the ER on the next bid.

Someone said 5097 was a 2000 hire. Lemme check.... Yup, April 1998. Sorry!

MQAAord · December 12th, 2006, 20:09

Just before 9/11, one of the most senior guys in Bill's new-hire class (Oct 99) held 73 Express CA out of MCO. Obviously he got bumped back to F/O in all the hullballoo that followed.

ATL M88 CA would be worth the commute, but not NYC 88 CA. I did that commute (IND-NYC) for 6 months when I was with AA, and it was murder. The only thing that would make commuting to JFK worth it for the ER would be if he was a line-holder (no short call!), and that the ER is only one airport.

Doug Taylor · December 12th, 2006, 20:12

The good thing about NYC 88 is that it's "shuttle" flying out of LGA so you really shouldn't have to worry a whole lot about covering all three airports the way a 73N guy does. I haven't looked at a bid package at the NYCM88 so I really don't know for sure.

surreal1221 · December 12th, 2006, 20:24

AWE Shucks!! I read it too quickly and well...just figured. Blah!

Anyways. . . it's still a SEVEN SIX!!!!!111

Congrats boss!

ahhhh yea... it's too late for that....i'm already going to be the consistent travel buddy as most of his layovers will be on the weekends (for a while) and should be at least 36 hrs, i think....

plus, now that he's achieved his dream, it's my turn and he knows it and what "it" is!

OldTownPilot · December 12th, 2006, 20:39

As far as the layover goes, 98% of what my dad does is 24 ish hours. Red-eye overon the first night, wait 24 hours, take the next plane back, getting in on the third afternoon.

The longer layovers are in the destinations that are not flown daily.

Not so fast on the "no early reports" You gotta wake up around 300am east coast time to come back. So thats 100am PHX time.

FL270 · December 12th, 2006, 20:49

Congratulations and felicitations, fine sir! I know you'll enjoy a hell of a good time on the 7ER. And between US/HP, B6, and DL, you should have a decent time with the commute (hopefully).

And not to rain on your parade, but does this mean working weekends, being the bunkie, and Accra layovers? Or SVO in winter? Don't forget your yellow fever shot!

Russ

P.S.: Your next challenge is to learn 1 or more foreign languages like the 7ER driver who flew us CDG-JFK back in Oct. Made all his announcements in French, believe it or not! (Do you speak Russian or Ghanaian?)

JEP · December 12th, 2006, 21:00

Congrats, Doug. BTW, (952) = JEP

Doug Taylor · December 12th, 2006, 21:32

I'm passable in French and speak with a touch of a Bavarian accent in broken German.
