What a great looking aircraft in a great looking paint scheme. I do miss seeing those...

As far as its younger cousin with winglets, if we can put our passengers on pallets, there are plenty coming available!

Just for you Bar, the newest additions to the Delta Douglas ecosystem:

Fresh new engines, I love the JT8D smell in the morning!

Those are just freighters. Unfortunately the Everett line is no longer tooled for 767 passenger aircraft. They could change it, but given the drive to push 787 sales, they won't.

And there's no money in cargo so...

Sue me for being positive. It's a better way to live - imo.

Are there legit gripes? Absolutely. Is DALPA perfect? Not even close. I am however, still very happy to be here. Want to cry about an unfair world? Feel free. I'm not going to join in or commiserate. I will hand you a tissue though.

Flt Ops is still fighting to begin hiring this year. When hiring starts the spigot will stay open for a decade. Very possible 321's w/330's on the way. Economy actually showing signs of life. Company estimating only 25% to 30% stay to 65. Signs of DAL life on West Coast. If only a 1/3d of what RA is planning happens, we are in for a rocket ship ride over the next 15yrs.

The spigot staying open would be based on the economy (what could possibly go wrong), and no more mergers.

Like :D

Delta A346s!!!! That'd be fun. Imagine one of our terminals with the 744, 777, 330, 346, 763, 764 at one time!!

It'd be like our domestic side with DC95s, 320s, 319s, 739s, 752s, 738s, 763s, M88s, 737s, M90s, 717s, 753s.

I guess fleet commonality is not something we believe in.

$72 for a one year subscription ($36 schedule/$36 open time) I think that's what I read. I think that's an improvement from earlier prices.

Does anyone know if it will work the same, or will it require you to log on with a username and password everytime you use it (kind of lock the content locker)?

My subscription carried through the testing/security phase. It's changed now so every download you put in your password once (assuming it's synced). No username required though. The $36/$36 price is correct.
