I've met the guy a couple of times in my career, but normally just in passing. But, a few months ago I took him to LGA for what turned out to be the announcement of the Virgin deal. I invited him to sit on the jumpseat, but he declined because he was with his wife. We chatted for a little bit, but we were pressed for time so it wasn't too extensive. As the conversation wound down and he got ready to go back to the cabin (coach seat) he politely asked us if he could get us something to drink from the galley.
Great guy. I know it's a business, but I'm glad he's our CEO.

It's all or nothing. I found it in the PCS guide. If there is one trip that can't be dropped then the entire priority #1 goes to #2. I was also able to figure out that you can get more than 2 priorities by filling out the 1st two and then select the PF forward key. I did 8 priorities which contained every possible drop combo for my trips I'm trying to drop. Hope that helps.

He was on his 5th leg, it was my first. He had flown with 2 other FOs during the day as well. It takes 3 normal FOs to do what one former DC-9 captain does in a day.

That's kind of like a person saying, "I'm not most "normal" person in the world, based on my standards."

How about a compensation package that recognizes the sacrifices we made in BK and coincides with Delta's current profitably?
He may be a personable guy. But go back to his southern accent on the safety video. Is it fake? Or his his "everyday" accent fake? He makes his millions by being brilliant, sure...but also by being everything to everyone. Not buying the "good cop" act.

Saw it in GSO a few days ago. Winshields were replaced, new slats were going on, and they were just replacing the radome and starting to pop the cowlings when we left the next day. Lots and lots of big wooden crates with airplane parts sitting all over the ramp. Agent said it encountered the hail on approach to GSO, not ATL.
