2. Fed Ex DID NOT buy our 757s. At least 2 went to the bone yard and no one seems to know who is getting the others. However, they are ALL the 55xx tail numbers or the old jets (that can't take the winglets) like we all thought.

3. NWA will start doing flaps 25(vs 30) landings shortly so we will match Delta. Watch those tails boys.............

4. Lots of work being done on which flight director to use. Probably Delta's due to alot more jets.

5. Yup, probably 767s vs 757s in Asia.

6. Marching orders from WAY above is integration to happen as soon as possible to merge the workforce. One big happy family as soon as possible.

7. Flight Ops integration going well at this point. Delta is assuring RA that flight ops won't be slowing up the works. RA wants the SOC like yesterday. Estimates run from 8 to 12 months to 12 to 14 months depending on who you talk to.

Counted at least 5 or 6 Delta dudes in the cafeteria for lunch at NATCO and everyone was smiling. I got the heck outta there, too many dudes from both companies in ties.
