Sounds like an expensive day for Delta. I assume they sent another airplane on a rescue mission? Also, this lady is really trying to talk up cold bay. I used to fly there and there's probably 2-3 flights in and out of there a day, if that, and the international traffic would only be diversions which is pretty rare. That being said, CDB is a pretty good option if you have to set down on the Aleutians, there's probably the best support available there of anywhere in the near vicinity.

In the 777 all of our screens are touch screens...Apparently.
They don't work, but they sure do have a lot of fingerprints.
A few months ago, someone started stocking some screen cleaner in the side cubbyholes. I tried to clean a screen with it, but the cleaner hardened like gooey syrup as soon as it touched the screen. So, I wipe away at it with a paper towel and now my whole screen is a gooey messy blob of fingerprint residue, paper towel shreds and syrup...brilliant.

They probably had the high ALVs to ensure they would not run afoul of the targeted line value (TLV) requirements in the PWA down the road during slower months. The TLV is measured for a 12-bid period rolling average of the ALV for each position and it has to be between 75 and 80 hours (inclusive). If you run 5 months (May though September) of 72 hour ALVs and then go into the winter flying months which don't have as much flying, you could run into a problem come April 2014. Just a thought.

That's not how ASA put the CRJs into service. After a month of training in Montreal, I sat around for close to two months waiting for the planes to show up and for proving runs to be completed. At least we got to do IOE on the proving runs. Was the best summer ever!

We got our first 717 around the 10th I think and flew it on the 25th, but it was just one jet for a few days then a second will or did start and so on.
Not sure when AA began their pilot training but we started ours in May I think and a few pilots got to do touch and goes in an AirTran 71 calling themselves Citrus the whole time.

Denny,
Dumb question alert:
Do you do your eye exam at Costco too? Or just purchase the glasses there?
My son is needing a new exam & glasses. Not sure whether to make a one-stop shop at Costco for both, or have the exam done elsewhere & make the frame/lens purchase then, at Costco.
Thanks,
GJ

I do both at Costco. Very reasonable.
