Wonder if this is why there was a push this summer to get us hand flying?

I say every delta pilot should go through dc-9 initial training every 5years, problem solved! Even better, it should be done in reverse seniority.

I sent an email to flight ops and got a polite response saying I was correct and they will be correcting it on the next flight ops email.

It is coming up in most fleets CQ next cycle. My fleet has a SPOT for each pilot to hand fly the entire spot. I've seen it, and it actually has the possibility to be quite fun.

Thanks 80. If they have any sense, they'll apologize as well. It's the least they can do for outsourcing our jobs, then having the GALL to wag their finger at us!!! I won't soon forget this outrage. The nerve!!!
