Years ago we flew L10-11's ATL-CDG, which were replaced by the MD11 and they were replaced by the 777 on that route. It was about 5 years ago we took the 777 off and put an 767ER on it.
When I first got on the 777, 6 years ago, it flew Rome, Paris and London out of ATL...of course all I could hold was Bombay...but still...we used to fly the 777 to Europe's big 3.
Now we fly one flight a day to most Europe spots; A330, 764, or an ER, and code share to other airlines 777's to those destinations.

You heard about the radio call one of our guys heard, taxiing out of LGW, after going through the security line just in front of a VA crew?
On ground control, as they were both taxiing out, the VA pilot said, "Delta, do you always take your Mum with you, everywhere you fly?"
Classic!

All we can do as pilots is put the heat on our union to make sure we negotiate protections for us in light of this agreement.

Are you comparing the winter schedule to the good old days? We used to give all of our profits back over the winter. If you look at the summer months, we're doing CDG 2X a day from ATL, on either an A330 or a 767-400 and an ER, and London 3X per day right now on a 767-400 from ATL. Today we pare capacity to meet demand over the winter, and are now making money again.
Earlier you said the only thing we ever flew to CDG prior to the merger was an ER.
I was just correcting that.

Holy Cow!!! My picture of a fully clothed woman blowing a bubble just got pulled!!!!! REALLY???? It was a bubble people!!! Someone just happened to capture the picture at the right time. For that brief second when the shutter blinked the bubble may have resembled the male anatomy. BUT IT WAS STILL A BUBBLE!!!!
Just for that I'm gonna post a picture of a cat with a pancake on her head. This is my wife's cat. She thought I was nuts when I put the pancake on her head and took the picture. For those based in Seattle, that is the best pancake mix ever, Snoqualmie Falls Pancake Mix. Yummy!

You must be scaring it. After all, it sees this ....
You are having these problems on ICS, or Jelly Bean?
So far, I'm digging me some Jelly Beans. Even rooted my tablets to enjoy the JB goodness.
(Trying to distract myself from posting about Virgin until after the news conferences ... and ALPA's statement(s) .... )
... and now I know why my two year old runs from me.

I just ditched Verizon's Thunderbolt (VZW's first 4G Android phone) for an iPhone5. All I can say is wow, the iPhone is a piece of crap. I can write a book about all the things I hate about it. Sure, my Android had some issues. But overall, the Android system is vastly superior in so many ways. The iPhone iOS is really bad and boring. The lack of Google's mapping software (Google Maps, Local, Street View) is the iPhone5's downfall.
The reason why I voiced my opinion is what Johnso mentioned. I have found that when trying to place the cursor mid sentence or in the middle of a word, it is almost damn near impossible on my iPhone. I have to tap or press over and over and over before it selects. It is very frustrating. I have the same results on a friend's iPhone. It could be my fingers haha.
The only thing I like about the iPhone are some of the functions that Siri makes easy (say "directions to Orlando" and boom there they are). However, that Apple Maps is the biggest fail ever in smartphone apps.
If the Samsung GIII goes Global Ready on Verizon, or if the new HTC Droid DNA gets a bigger battery, I will pay the extra money to switch. I believe the only reason why the iPhone is relevant today is because of the cult following that Apple has and that love affair is slowing growing cold. Apple needs a major overhaul to their iPhone which was once game changing but IMO is below average.
