Hopefully not me, yet, but no hard numbers so far. The e-mail said mentioned 150 surplus pilots and offered voluntarily leave of absence to anyone who wants it. There are 189 pilots below me, so I should be okay for another week, but who knows. I suspect it’s simply a matter of time before I’m looking for another job. Anyone need a pilot?

Wow. So, there’s a real chance that if elected, McCain might die in the next 4 years, and this is the woman he’s picked??? It’s not like Couric was asking really tough questions here, or even surprising questions. I’ll just go ahead and toss in (in case you missed it) Letterman’s bewilderment at McCain calling him on the phone to say that he was rushing back to Washington, so he couldn’t be on the show. Which turned out to be an out and out lie, since he was actually next door doing his interview with Couric. All I can say…
The aptly-named B train runs from Bedford Blvd, Bronx to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. In inaptly-named Madison Square Garden is nowhere near Madison, is not in any way a square (it’s more of a cylinder), and is certainly not a garden by any stretch of the imagination. The BQE is easily confused with the BQ in casual conversation. One is the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, while the other is a pair of concurrent train lines.
