Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I brought that 76 into LAX.The EEC's were green stamped T.O. only. Then off..Whoops! All those little round balls look alike.I guess they are out of monkey view now.

Oh! The best part is,they didn't know the motors were down untill they got those little red flags on the gauges....Boeing was thrilled, they had no idea how rapidly you could get a low alt air start. I'm thinking they had to change many seat covers in CVG that day.

That's another reason I try not to go completely bonkers every time I don't know something: sometimes it's right there, and I was too stupid or lazy to find it.

I think George is also pretty even-keeled, and I find him to be extremely well versed on this topic (so much so that I usually just wait to read from him about this). So I assume he's missing some numbers still.

I also try a really outlandish thing sometimes: I check with my rep(s). Last I checked, the JV numbers were in compliance, and trending in the right direction. He expected more info in the spring.

No wonder things get a little testy around here: we have the 4th most stressful job in the nation.

10 Most Stressful Jobs of 2013

This poor guy is stuck flying an RJ, he looks to be only about a month from retiring, his Captain just died, and he's got no avionics. His airspeed his way down, and the only thing he knows about his attitude is that it was really bad when he showed up for work this morning. He just watched The Flight, and he knows that deep down, he's just a worthless FO. Can't even speed his way through turbulence.

And it's only January 3rd, but already, his job is the 4th most stressful of 2013.

Whatever happens next, he's probably going to want his shoulder harness for it.

so lax-bna... are we actually, purposefully, intentionally, not by accident, choosing to willfully compete with another legacy on a route they own while using mainline metal to do it?

i thought basic airline management 101 said this kinds of stuff went the way of the passenger carrying 727s?

Well, we do LAX-MEM, RDU, CVG, ATL, MCO, IND, why not throw BNA into the mix?

Buzz,

Back in November I worked a LAX-JFK redeye. As we stepped out of the van a guy asked if we were his pilots to CMH. We told him no we were headed to NYC. CA thought he meant CVG. Turns out we fly 73N LAX-CMH redeyes too!!! :eek:

Are they seasonal? I don't see direct flights now. Maybe it was for Thanksgiving???

I flew that on the 73N a number of times. It's not daily and might be pulled down for the winter.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:53 PM.
