Real world "stuff" has kept me from responding to you all as I would have liked to; a big thanks to my right hand and co manager Jeff for all his assistance this past year. Jeff, thanks so much for your dedication and attention.
Monthly flights and hours have remained fairly constant at around mid-400's for hours and around 130-150 flights/mo. We are a "long haul" hub with the average flight duration at around 3.3 hours per flight!! You folkis do like your ass bustin' long flights!
This year has seen a lot of changes with most of them invisible in the background.

PILOTS: Jeff and I have noted an increase in emails to us with respect to awards. We LOVE getting mail, but did you know that you can put a request in the comments section of your pireps at the time you complete your flight. Doing so ensures that you get your award quickly!!
I hope that you have enjoyed a blessed Christmas, and Chanukah season, and Jeff and I wish you all the very best for the coming New Year! May your every wish com true!
Best Regards,
Dennis
