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

Keeping my fingers crossed that CINC House does not hear about this year's profit sharing.
So far she has not mentioned it.

She spent last year's and then some. Turned out OK though.
(who knew kitchen appliances and granite countertops were an aphrodisiac)

OMG, I am going through the kitchen rehab mode now and I am at the point where I would prefer they take that granite slab, hoist up five floors and drop it on my skull. The agony would only last a micro second.

I hate HGTV. It gives my wife ideas and makes everything look like it can be done in 30 minutes. No way to total up all the hours and dollars that channel has cost me.:mad:

I dunno, I get more exhausted in one leg on the DC9 jumpseat just watching that poor crew work! :D

Lol. It can be tiring. I think it takes longer to recover from a DC9 5 day trip then from a 12 day Asia! :D

I know, flying the allnighter SFO-JFK and my Caribbean turn on Sat is 23k'd. Called the CPO and they said I have to be in JFK for 5 hours after the 23k sign in time. So it looks like Crashpad Oasis for me tomorrow.

That's a bummer.

Did as much as I could do myself renovation-wise myself, but I still myself surprised along the way. Hate getting professionals to come out. Close to impossible to find an honest one

Good luck with it all. It'll be worth it in the end.

All worth it at the end, end, when the Grim Reaper releases you from additional home projects, or is there an intermediate point where you're between projects, and temporarily numb to it all?

Or are you referring to the aphrodisiac properties of new kitchens?

Okay, the AMR/US Airways merger seems like it's almost a done deal. Who would like to bet on what happens immediately thereafter?

If I had to guess, I would imagine that the first big surprise is that United would make a play for JetBlue. Immediately followed by Delta making a play for Alaska Airlines. DOJ panicks. They ask for huge concessions, and one or more of the deals comes close to falling apart. This wipes out Delta's headstart, but we end up with three powerhouse networks and a rational industry. AMR ends up with a fantastic network, but never manages to make the employee piece of the puzzle fit.

The rational industry remains rational for about two years. After that, somebody decides they have to grow market share. Brief periods of bonuses ensue. I upgrade. Pandemonium then errupts. I get displaced.

Home Depot stores in the Seattle area start giving away a free 787 with the purchase of a new lawnmower.

After that, my crystal ball gets a little cloudy.
