For all you iPhone guru's out there, does anyone know if it's possible to download Adobe Flashplayer onto the iPhone? Everytime I try it tells me Safari can't download it. I guess Apple blocked it so we can't put it on our phones? :(

The Adobe Flashplayer does not work on the iPhone. Apple doesn't support it, at least not yet. Hope that helps.

No this has been an ATL thing and I hate it too because guys are completely professional in the cockpit up until that mike is keyed. There is a disconnect somewhere as to ATC's role and the system at large.

Man I am struggling to find this in the FOM or PWA, but somewhere it must be written that as a Delta pilot (DALS) you must be a complete ******* to ATC whenever you get the chance.

Just had that happen yesterday in SFO. We were cleared to push onto Alpha. Cactus then called and was told to wait for us. About a minute later a MD-90 called for push. He was told to wait. When we cleared A, and ground told Cactus to push, the -90 had, for lack of a better word, a hissy fit that they weren't next. Was quite embarrassing.

If anyone can find it let me know, I think its in chapter 3 or 5 and is probably sandwiched between where it says:

a) in lieu of standard IFR procedures and the required first come first serve basis of ATC that ATC will give priority handling to any jet (but especially the one you're on) that has Delta written on the side of it, except that if Connection is also written then they go to the end of the line, and

b) ATC controllers are idiot subordinates that must never look at you, must stand at attention at all times behind you, must make no suggestions to you, must do everything you tell them to do asap, must never deny your requ... demand, must answer when called and that when you talk to them you shall use your outside screaming voices no matter how petty the situation is.

After the past few months I've just got to believe its written in the FOM somewhere because it just happens sooo much. :mad: And what gets me about it is that the guys are by and large great people to be around!!?! I mean I hate it because we, Delta, come off looking really bad. FWIW, you give up a lot when you file IFR and a lot more when you do it for compensation or hire.

Sorry for the rant and the lack of a pictuire of UF swimsuit girl. I fear getting caught here at home posting that and not having any good rational explanation as to what I am doing.
