Was hoping Delta would opt for the Surface Pro 2 instead of the Surface 2. That said, based upon what SD said in his last update and Q and A the Surface 2 is a much more capable platform than iPad.

Wait, what airplane? That reminds me somewhat of my Shorts days, but I've lost some of that to the fog of middle age and don't remember elevator horn heat. I do however remember endless debates about the nuances of what exactly constitutes a clean aircraft.

Meh. Flew the DHC-8 (100/200), which was a complicated critter in its own right, but at least it was built tough and it seemed the Canadians knew something or two about getting ice off the airframe (but apparently effective air conditioning was a mystery). Overall, a relative Cadillac and with a 900 RPM cruse prop setting, relatively quiet.
It had it's own set of quirks, including 4 generators (not including the APU), no electric trim (except for a backup) and ridiculously slow gear and flap speeds. The trim itself was wildly sensitive and the "cockpit vent fan" would duct superheated air from just above in the taxiway pavement through the nose gear well. On the plus side, you'd often win slow flight and spot landing contests versus Cubs and the back row bench seat made a tolerable cot. Nu |
Delta Vies for Haneda Slot
ZacksBy Zacks Equity Research | Zacks Major U.S. passenger carrier Delta Airline Inc. (DAL) is fighting with its Japanese and American rivals to get additional landing slots at Tokyo’s Haneda airport. The move is an effort by Delta to increase its presence in Tokyo’s downtown region. Haneda – the second busiest airport in Asia -- is set to gain 40 new daytime landing slots for flights, as of Mar 2014. Notably, Haneda airport resumed international operations in 2010 after it opened a new international terminal. Back then Delta, which is the sole U.S. airlines without a Japanese partner, won 2 night slots, while American Holdings and Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (HA) won 1 slot each. Delta now wants a larger pie of the 40 slots that are up for grabs. Dallas-based Delta wants 25 slot pairs that they were force to shift to Narita airport in 1978. Narita airport, located 40 miles east of Tokyo, has less attractiveness to business travellers as compared to Haneda, which is located in the heart of the city. In an attempt to tap these corporate customers, both U.S. and Japanese carriers are lining up to get accesses to more landing slots in Haneda. Delta’s rival, United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL), is trying to get a slot of its own while its Japanese partner ANA Holdings is looking to get a major portion of the 20 slots reserved for the local carriers. Tokyo’s extended business relationship with various parts of the world makes it an important destination for major carriers, and Delta is no exception. Moreover, the flight for New York departs from Haneda at 6:55 A.M., which is less attractive for business travellers. Thus Delta wants to increase its presence within the city and is particularly targeting the day time slots, which are more meaningful for business passengers. |

Can we at least get a hub where our company is based out of. |
