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

Prayers for those in Boston.

On another note, I think RA would buy the -300ER if he only had to pay what every other foreign airline has paid in interest. I think there is a reason only one US airline has the 300ER (AA).

And NO US Carrier has the A380's. :rolleyes:

For what it's worth, FAA has placed a Security related Ground Stop on Boston for traffic originating in NY/Wash/Bos/Cle Centers with an update time at 5:30P local.

Third Explosion at JFK LIBRARY about 30 minutes ago.

Update: it sounds like an electrical fire and not an explosion.

I think it's a typo...news outlets saying 2 dead. Also saying 2 other devices were disarmed. They a calling a person in the hospital a "person of interest". We all know how wildly inaccurate the media can be with things like air crashes...I think all of this should be taken with a grain of salt at this point.

An 8 year old boy. Good God.

Quoting my favorite author, a Bostonian,

"Youngest victim is 8. Sigh. What can you do with that? If your "CAUSE" involves the death of kids, it's not a cause, it's a pestilence."

This little girl died today in the Boston Marathon bombing as she was walking/running in honor of the fallen at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Very sad.
