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

I'm guessing they are assigning a high ALV when no one is on the jet so that they can reduce the ALV (complying with the the yearly average requirement) when there are more people on the airplane (saving Delta money)?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the high ALV for the 717 in May.

Slow your roll homey.

I'm sure there are Pinnacle pilots who commute on GoJet.

Still worth 10 A330 replacement jets.

Sorry about the thread creep. But, this is posted as a public service. Comcast has to provide broadband for < $50 a month under their settlement with the FCC ... so, if you want to save some coin.

Bar-
I am right there with you. I hate Comcast with a passion. I feel like I'm being robbed every single month. I would love to pull the plug and just watch free HD broadcasts and online programming.

My problem is sports. I can't live without 'em. Especially college football.

What are you going to do about ESPN?

Sports is the reason I haven't cut the cable yet either. I really want to as the only reason I turn on the TV now a days is for Formula 1 and Football in the fall. I've been thinking about just being disciplined and downloading the F1 races after the fact, but I wouldn't be able to do that for football.

That's how I am about pro football which is why I keep Directv. Their NFL Sunday Ticket is worth what it costs the rest of the year. I can watch games on my ipad or laptop from any hotel room.

Where are the May ALV's posted? I don't see the bid packages out yet and I couldn't back door them.
