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"

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:

When holding the door for a F/A is actually rude:

Is the ladder so you don't have to walk all the way around and up the jet way to ride the slide again? Do the "Slater"

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.

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.
