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

They are the team of the future. Once they win a few SEC games they will start taking all the big recruits away from Texas... and Bama... and LSwho...

Ya heard it here first.

They are nothing more than the championship Auburn team. Without manziel they wouldn't even be in the discussion.

You think he doesn't have control of the roster right now? He won't leave.

They will do well, but take the big recruits from other SEC teams??? Doubt it. Only 2 things come from Texas.....:p;):D

For the record...not a Bama fan, just a SEC fan.

he interviewed for the Bears gig before Lovie, he demanded four million and control over the roster. they said no.

the nfl franchises are weary of handing over control of who is on the roster.

however, saban is a failure in the NFL. while we say is all about the money, it isn't always so. i mean how many of us look to QOL trumping pay here? you're not going to win them all, in fact, auburn has more undefeated seasons than bama does in the last 20 years. Nebraska s incredible run ended eventually.

being labeled a failure while watching Pete Carrol make a super bowl run probably eats Saban up. as much as we love college football, the nfl is bigger and somewhere he has wanted to be. The are cfb coaches that have no interest in the nfl, saban is not one of them.

my bet, he goes sooner than later.

And yet, it's a 365-day bid.

Hadn't heard that one. Assuming it's true, what should a 'team-player' who is currently on the -9 (me) bid?

Delta wants you to stay right where you are until you get MD'd to the 717. Feel free to not take that advice.

I get that. And I know that 'what's good for Ma' Delta is good for me'. But that's not always true. Just trying to figure out what's best for my family.

Permitted Arrangements Pursuant to the Hawaiian Marketing Agreement

Section 1 C. will not apply to flying performed by Hawaiian under the DL code under Section 1 Q., provided that the DL code may only be placed on Hawaiian flight segments:
a. for the sole purpose of passenger service, and
b. pursuant to the Hawaiian marketing agreement, and
c. within the state of Hawaii, and
d. under a prorate agreement, and
e. consistent with the terms of Section 1 Q.

How dare you inject facts into the conversation! You are ruining people's conspiracy theories! :D

I was chatting with an FAA Inspector about 6 years ago, re. the 787. He said nobody at the FAA wanted their name on the certificate! He said they are very worried about what will happen to the pax, if/when that plastic jet catches fire, ie. toxic fumes, to both the pax and firefighters. Also, he said they are concerned about what will happen if/when one crashes.

An aluminum tube will crush and absorb a lot of the impact, and many people will surive the impact, but a carbon tube won't flex and bend like that. It will either bounce up, hard, and snap everyone's neck, or explode into a shower of sharp splinters, neither one of which scenarios is going to be good for live people.

Now...throw in some exploding lithium batteries...:rolleyes:
