Heard over the radio just north of BrasZil: "Santo crap! Que caro Hebreo control remoto avión nuevo! Digo a los chicos Delta a subir, no, no, desciende, crap, montaña, aviones no tripulados, correr, rápido, ejecute"

Really, not sure I want to fly with these things ...

Except he wasn't critiquing the TA, he was critiquing 2/3 of the pilot group! I guess we're "delusional" :mad:

Junglebus, it would be my pleasure to welcome you on board. In fact, bring about 10,000 of the best pilots you can find with you ... .

Thanks BB. I'm really looking forward to flying with the DL guys & gals, whenever it happens....

Yeah, he messed that up. He should have written "2/3rds of the pilot group figured that it would not effect them."

The changes were nearly too close to measure and the economics were compelling for most. I voted yes, no, yes, no and was counted as a "no." However, I'd have probably changed it again if the window was another 24 hours. There were probably a lot of us on the fence on C2012. But, given that it passed and many seem happy with it ... well let Mr. Sheen explain:

Junglebus,

While I have not agreed with all of your opinions I have always found them well thought out. Don't worry about wingnuts 2/3 comment. There are 40% on the list at the new Delta that fully understand and find humor in your rocking chair comment. Beer is on me when you flow if we get paired up.

No, the international override is only for when you actually fly an international flight. If you look in depth at your pay statement, there is a separate line for international pay.

Thx. I didn't really think it was. I'll have to take a closer look at the pay statement.

They'll have to find a work around immediately.

there is just no way we can go without the 76 seaters.

The emergency water slide on United Flight 856 deployed Wednesday, after the pilot tried to yank the main passenger door shut before leaving the gate at Seattle's airport.
