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

That was some incredible sailing today. Kiwis were 4 minutes from winning the America's cup and time was called. Then the American's rallied and really took it to the Kiwi's and did a great job to extend for one more day.

That was great stuff, too bad for them, got to be very frustrating to be ahead in 3 races now, only to have two called for too much wind, and today's for not enough!

I got to see all of today's racing while sitting in the E lounge in the ATL, waiting to go to Dubai tonight. I'll miss the rest of the racing this weekend, unless it's on one of the channels in our Dubai hotel.

The Americans have a huge hole to climb out of, and the Kiwis only need to win one more, I'll bet it'll be over by Sunday.

LOA 13-3 has been reached. Will be discussed at the upcoming Special MEC meeting. It covers Pacific and Asia flying. I sure hope Scrappy didn't blow it.

Keep your fingers crossed. I am praying :o

Me too. Wonder if the reps had any say in it or whether the MEC administration did it without them.

Being in Dubai you should be able to watch it Live on the YouTube channel. Unless of course it is censored like everything else over there.

...designed to address the changing dynamics in Tokyo (HND and NRT) and the Asian/Pacific Theater and provide scope improvements for the Delta pilots.

This announcement is steeped in "we-just-rolled-over-for-the-company-again-and-now-we-have-to-brainwash-you-to-sell-it" language.

Maybe the delay in the 717 is because we messed up which 717s we are getting. Maybe SWA delivered some of these from the boneyard?

I know that you used to get 717 type for the 135 before Boeing and MD merged.

9E is pinnacle now Endeavor right? Since when has a more senior 9E person been higher on the non rev list than an active Delta employee?! This doesn't seem correct?!!??!

The KC-135 was originally known as the 717.
