How do you set up a pin that is different from your password?

It's on iCrew on the personnel drop down.

Ghettostcticles ... RITF LOL :)

Whoo hoo ... some outlets back, the AC's back on and I hacked my neighbor's wireless (sports fans are easy to hack ... usually a team or mascot, then 192.168.1.1 Admin admin in for the win) should I change his WEP to "DeltaPilot" for grins?

Back in civilization :)

On the way home on 285 a few weeks ago, a hoopty just like that passed me. I was on the phone with a friend and could not believe what was swinging as it rolled by... Oh, Atlanta....

I know a lot of DAL pilots drive trucks. Is this conclusive evidence that AA pilots drive 80's vintage cars with 24's?

Makes me want to post my 64 impala with boss 20's. Yeah, a little old school and a little new school.

Should I get some nutz for my impala?

JC Lawson was correct to reject that ill conceived plan. Delta pilots should have objected as well. It just was not a good idea.

I would guess that there are a lot of present and former Comair pilots that vehemently disagree with that statement, including JC L (if he had any sense).

True, but the calculus of what we are fed vis a vie the costs of the mainline doing the flying certainly changes.

We're told that cost studies show that the mainline cannot compete with DCI, not because of the pilots, but because of the ancillary labor groups.

That works until you realize that other than the pilots (and the dispatchers, who's incremental added cost is probably negligible), the DAL workforce is entirely non-union.

So now we have DGS doing the above and below wing work, for the SAME labor cost as the mainline, because they're the same people, so scratch them off the ledger.

Who's left? MX and the FAs. The company is absolutely FREE to dictate whatever terms and conditions they wish to these groups for the 76 seat flying. So that end of it is certainly within the company's control.

So what's left? The pilots, but that takes us back to them saying "it's not just the pilots". Um, no, it IS just the pilots.

I'd guess he stopped caring about half a decade ago when he took Delta's money for an early retirement. As for the rest (like me) this is the first I've heard of it (13 years later). If JC Lawson had been recalled it would have made no difference:
  • The Delta group did not want a merger
  • Woerth was not going to risk it
  • Delta outsourced nearly 50% of it's domestic flying
  • Delta was in no position to hire until 2007
  • Delta MEC is responsible for negotiating with Delta management for Delta pilots' job protection provisions. If the Delta MEC was in any way serious about employment rights at Delta's subsidiaries, they could have simply negotiated provisions with Delta management

Acutally, just changing from the standard WiFi IP address of 192.168.1.1 will cure %90 of your security hassles.

You could always change his SSID to "SecureUrRouterBetter", or the ever popular "FREE PUBLIC WIFI".
