alfa...I'm not a pilot and not a DL employee. As a mother of 3 kids (now young adults) I am terribly saddened by the tragic loss of your daughter. As others have said, it's every parent's nightmare...especially when we're on layovers.
Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family at this terrible time......
God bless and may she rest in peace.

Alfa,
I think I speak for all Alaska pilots on this. Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Your daughter stops over on Saturday after work to say hi. She takes a shower before the company picnic and then has a piece of your Key Lime Pie. She has another piece because you make a great pie. You give her a hug tell you love her and then wish her fun at her picnic. Then three days later you get woken up on a layover with a phone call to realize that you will never see her ever again. It is quite trite but true. Enjoy every minute with your kids and family.
Prayers for you and your family Sir. Please don't hesitate to call on us if you should need anything.

Right- except they do have reserves and they can most certainly schedule OE pretty much anytime they like, so I don't think that is really a problem.
Either way- I'm not sure we peons are actually getting correct info regarding FAA "acceptors" when it comes to delivery of the 717s. Why would the company post a bid pack for the 717 for November when they have no idea whether or not the shutdown will be over by Nov 1? They could just as easily have built the time into the A320 like they did this month and covered "converted" flying via 717 reserves in ATL if/when the appropriate FAA personnel are back on the job (assuming there are actually any people who have to "accept" aircraft that were already performing revenue service a month ago using a different seat design.)

Question to everyone. I've been way out do the loop for quite a long while.
The 737-900's being delivered; are any of them coming with the required equipment that makes them ETOPS able?
Had heard there was a desire to send them to do the "island flying."
No distinction was made between Hawaiian or the beach destinations.
Thanks.
