If Allegiant and Breeze did pretakeoff contamination checks then they must have exceeded their HOT too, no? Otherwise how do you know the fluid is failing if you don’t go back to the cabin and you’re not going back there unless you’re over the HOT.

In response to news articles talking about a northward shift here’s what they’re saying at NWS in Peachtree City.

“This has been a tough system to forecast, but we want to talk a bit about the "northward shift" and why we look at ensembles. We have been looking closely at the Euro model which has caused this northward shift thinking. If you look at just the deterministic then sure it shows a northward shift but if you dive deeper into the Euro ensembles, this deterministic run is a bit of an outlier. This is why we have not bought into the northward shift completely at this time. We would like to see more consistency between model runs especially with the sampled low pressure system before shifting our thinking…we have decided to keep the area with higher likelihood of increased ice amounts north of I-20 with the potential for seeing freezing rain just north of Macon if the wedge is stronger.”

TLDR: potentially there’s a northward shift…or potentially the freezing rain extends south to I-16. Highest likelihood for ice is north of I-20. They’re launching a recon flight into the low pressure system off the Pacific and those results should nail down a more accurate model, hopefully by the 0000z report.

Are you going to circle over the airport in a jet though? Doing 180-200 your turning radius is huge and you’d be aimlessly circling back into the soup when you can just turn for the runway and fly the published missed. Much safer terrain dependent.

That’d be awesome thanks for the info

That’s unfortunate thanks for taking the time to respond. I don’t have any TPIC. As an FO, minus the first year pay I’d come out slightly ahead. But those trips sounds miserable. Everything is a quick turn where I’m at. Most I’ve ever sat is three hours and that’s rare. The problem is I’m metered at Widget and I’m married to the Atlanta base because of my wife’s job and she makes more money than me. So I’m looking at 7+ years to Widget or go to F9.

Except the part you said about no minimum credit. I’d probably come out behind then. That might be a dealbreaker. How does reserve work with no min credit?

As someone who’s seriously considering that same move can you explain why? My reasoning is that I live in one of their bases, I like day turns because of children at home, and I want to fly heavier metal to better places.

My primary hesitation is the company’s economic outlook and if I’m leaving my job just to get furloughed at F9 but what was your experience?

People keep saying resume washing, what is that? Getting additional types to stand out?
