Just got an email update from flt ops re: crew planning news. Next AE expected in Jan or Feb to open the ATL 717 categories and will have some 73N openings. DTW 717 to follow later. More 320 FO displacements as well as ATL 767 displacements. May have more DC9 openings depending on needs.

Tell me that guy doesn't look like he has ESP today. If you ever get a chance, go listen to Delta's fuel guru talk. If he and Nate Silver got together in a room it would be like Ditka and Jordan in a death match. Such a travesty would violate all laws of nature and should never be allowed to occur. God rest Chris Farley.

Because if we're charged $20 per ton and that rate rises 6% per year, what would that cost us? Obama May Levy Carbon Tax to Cut U.S. Deficit, HSBC Says - The Washington Post, November 7, 2012 The amount of deadly, life-stealing carbon dioxide put out the tailpipe can be calculated from the amount of fuel you're burning. From my recollection: Jet-A (Hydrocarbons, Cs and Hs) + Oxygen ---> Water + Carbon Dioxide Jet-A has different chemical compositions depending on the refining process, but for the most part you're looking at one part Carbon to two parts Hydrogen (plus some other stuff we don't want the EPA to know about... ssshhhhh...) But since one Carbon weighs as much as 6 Hydrogens, on a per-ton basis, 2,000 lbs of Jet-A will contain (roughly) 1500 lbs of Carbon and 500 lbs of Hydrogen. Bad news is, one Carbon will hook up with two Oxygens, which means that 1500 lbs of Carbon will generate 5500 lbs of Carbon Dioxide. Or in other words, at $20 per (metric) ton of CO2, Delta will be paying a Carbon Tax of $50 per (metric) ton of Jet-A, or 17 cents per gallon. Bar can tell you how much that will cost Delta in a year. |

The problem with that is we've had an opportunity to see what happens when you stick your head in the sand (see Europe). When the bill comes due it is not a pretty sight. But hey, I see your way of looking at it: pretend it doesn't matter who would have won and the end result would have been the same...enjoy the ride until the wake up call comes. Votes have consequences, and unfortunately we've chosen poorly.
We are still here. |

More drama, huh? History will tell you that "the other side" said the exact same things after the 2004 election.

Just an aside. Why do junior NYC FOs keep checking my info and schedule in LA? They can't hold it. Bid away boys. What am I missing?

Way better than we were in the Fall of 2008/Winter of 2009. I feel way better. |
