Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Words of wisdom from granddad:
"Those yuppie girls don't even like crawfish. If you ask them if they like them, and they hem and haw, dump them out right away."
Someone got some video of the asiana Hitting the end of the runway. It is from far away.

IMHO, it's not laziness that prevents more pilots from doing this, it's the burden it puts on the PM in addition to his normal duties.
I'm not opposed to the DPA. I'm not opposed to DALPA. But I am opposed to ALPA National. I'd rather be independent.
Let me guess, AMR wants DOH?
Whoa. I kept hearing "it cartwheeled" and thought how would it have kept its wings if it cartwheeled. But that's sort of a flat cartwheel. I wonder what airliner (747 maybe) was taxing out?

AMR will likely want relative- US's pilot population is crazy old, while AMR has an overall cross section and retirement to 50% nearly identical to ours. US's retirement to 50% is around 2019... AMR's is ~2024 like us.
The 777 in its final position had rotated all the way around and then some, and definitely showed a wing in that video. Amazing the wings stayed attached. Boeing builds a hoss of an airplane!
The airliner taxiing out was UAL885 (a 744) to KIX. They subsequently cancelled.

Do I think they are a bunch of fools? Yes. They have given up hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to fulfill their number 1 goal in preventing Nicolau from being implemented up to this point. How does understanding that make me look silly? Do explain.
They have that an SLI shall be DOH in their by-laws, but there has been no re-do attempted.

What's Nicolau?

Training you to fly with less than full automation? Are you kidding me? If a pilot cannot operate without full automation he/she should not be here.
Show me anywhere that Delta has pushed full automation all the time. In fact the FOM says we need to remain proficient in all levels of automation.
