That's my point. It's unlikely we will take the 717s only to park the M88's.

^^^^^ This


As said before during the TA discussions, the rosy predictions and great "numbers" often don't seem to materialize as advertised.

How many of those 88 717's are going to actually be growth aircraft? The devil is in the details. Details which have not yet fully materialized.

Pink-tober is coming up soon, here's a instructional video on how to tie your tie.

I also think they should make a video on how to keep a plane level during heavy turbulence.

I got on this airplane 3.5 years ago, and this is by far the worst schedule to date that I've ever gotten on this thing. And that's with being at the same 80ish percentile the entire time.

Nice.

Anybody else see this....

From Council 66

At the regular MEC meeting in CVG today, the MEC passed a resolution granting a refund of dues money paid into the SMRA account. More than $7 million will be returned to the Delta pilots.

To what details are you referring as being inhabited by said devil?

That goes to all current and former pilots. Kind of crazy to do this unless they don't want it sitting there.

Wow! Ashley really knows how to tie a tie:):). This should be mandatory viewing for those who want to wear the pink tie.

Not on a 1:1, no. Some, yes, all no. Not a perfect match gauge wise.
