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

Buzz is right - our trips are the absolute worst. Although they have gotten better. At the nadir, about two years ago, fully 33% of our bid package were 4 day red-eye trips that paid between 16 and 20 hours. :mad:

I knew we were in deep trouble when our RCC Representative gave up and bid from LAX 73N A to ATL 777 B. :eek:

I always ask them, "Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Non?

Then Shut The Fark UP, I'm trying to Sleep! :D

Now that's funny stuff right there!

Not to mention how the Air Force guys felt with interlopers chatting on "their" frequency.

Arguing on guard freq about anything says all you need to know about all parties involved.

How bout the guys talking Spanish back and forth over 123.45
"Hey what are guys driving?"
"Yadda yadda yadda.....some fancy Airbus"
"I thought you guys usually drove lawn mowers?"
"Yadda yadda yadda.... Something probably very offensive in Spanish"

Prolonged drawn-out arguments on any frequency gets old.

What with all the mainline activity on C and D concourses in Mecca? I've been either in or out of one or both several times the pat two trips...not complaining its actually a nice change of scenery and food choice (both have a Five Guys) plus I can justify riding the plane train!
Just odd to have so many flights there.

Delta pilots keep voting to loosen scope so there's more RJ flying..... Oh, wait.

Flew with a guy who actually would push the transmit button on number 2 as soon as he heard that freq crackle. He must of said "on guard", 3 times a flight. Also included his military experience on his PA's. Glad it was only a 2 day.
