*777 may not materialize on this bid if they opt to keep DHing ATL crews. At some point we will see a shift of 777s to DTW though.

Don't know about 330 or 777 but 747 A & B both have lots of extras in category . Some days up to 40 guys on res for 3 departures . Think they will just let the early out thin things down to normal.

[thanks Skywest. Thanks a pant load for not screening or monitoring the people you hire to replace Delta pilots

What a crock! How ignorant to just simply place the blame on SkyWest. They do in fact have a pretty thorough screening process. But of course nobody screens them better than mighty Delta.

Did you say the same about the Jet Blue when their captain lost it?

People snap and most times you can never see it coming. Do you blame the regionals for everything that goes wrong in your life too?

There Joe, fixed it for you.

As for the DC-3 thing, the County Code Enforcement Officer apparently lied and as far as I know any and all charges where dropped. He was doing an engine run and compass swing. He asked her to move back, she did, so he taxied his airplane to where it needed to be parked.

Her story was "her tried to run over me with an airplane." As you surely would understand, no one would want to wreck their restored classic aircraft into a vehicle.

The locals had been trying to run "large" airplanes off the airport since someone crashed the DC4 and blew the Piggly Wiggly to smithereens. The City had allowed building within the runway clear zone and when they failed to shut down the entire airport they went after the operators of "big" airplanes as a safety hazard.

How could you as CEO monitor every employee? As a pilot would you like your employer to force you to have mental screening at each sim ride? Your post wreaks of the immature drivel written in the closed Skywest thread on the regional board. Your better than this Bar. I've seen shining examples of well thought out posts. This was not one of them.
