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

I wonder if that's one of Delta's old DC8's? Did you know that after they put those big motors on them, they would actually put them in reverse in flight, on descent!

I was non-reving in the back of one when on descent the Capt. made a PA to the effect that they were going to reverse the inboards, so don't be alarmed by that sound or the steep deck angle! :eek:

Nice find 80K!

Now...if I could just get my 4 kids off my payroll, maybe I could sell my house and buy that to live in! I could never afford to put gas in it, or the mx, but it would be a great bachelor pad, once the wife leaves me!:D

I would have loved to have rode on one of those! That would be quite the strange thing to see the reversers go out in flight. Perhaps you can work out a deal with Monroe Oil to hook you up with a few tanks of gas.

Here's one for buzzpat: :D

Congrats, Denny! :D

Yeah, it was an awesome game! Their defense was outstanding and Russell Wilson is pretty amazing. They went thru a stretch in the middle where I don't know how they pulled out the wins but the last few games they have dominated. Now, if they could just get past the suspensions...:eek: Thank goodness they have a reeeeally deep bench.

If they do get home field advantage thru the playoffs, they are going to be very hard to beat.

I'm looking forward to the 49'ers game next week!:)

Roadkill,

I appreciate your concern and advice :rolleyes: Truthfully, it was just easier to type she was a friend. It is not anyone I'm involved with, it is a buddies girlfriend.

Point your friend towards the GI bill, which is the benefits you speak of, tell her to start googling, and back thou away slowly and carefully. I also recommend you not get between a female grizzly and her cubs... I normally don't feel this is advice I need to give, but maybe you need it ;)

Debating facts with you is a waste of keystrokes.

No offense meant PD, but from the fence, I wouldn't classify the DALPA/DPA "discussion" as a debate. It's more like a bad version of the old "Tastes great, Less filling" argument gone horribly wrong.

Both sides are entrenched in their beliefs and the whole sordid affair has degenerated into nothing more than childish behavior for both camps. Do you really believe that you and Carl are changing minds on this forum? The same question can be asked of the DALPA crowd.

I don't care what anyone says, that is some funny stuff there. And yes, I do support ALPA...begrudgingly.

Damn nice to finally see some forward movement (at least for us junior guys). Been here for 13 years & still mid level 88 FO.

When they backfill WB FO positions, that will be movement! Still waiting.

The 717's were still in full AirTran garb in and out and were actually flown by Airtran pilots but as soon as the flight was done and the check written DAL was in compliance with the scope clause!
Jets are real and owned by DAL but they aren't even close to being on line.

Sinca, The 717 Demo flights are done when the a/c is finished with the refurb. The planes are in Delta colors and cabin configuration. The Air Tran pilots fly the demo flight because the plane is not owned by Delta at that time. I can't see Delta signing off on a demo flight before the refurb was done because Delta would then be on the hook for the cost to complete the refurb.

I think Bar just passed out twitching upon seeing that. ;)

I got my FE ticket on the DC-8:

Bar is just jealous of that pure Douglas engineering awesomeness!
