It is actually the best way to tell non-swamp from swamp. Pine trees can't stand wet feet at all. My property has a few areas of pine trees, and when we get flooded those places are usually islands. That thing in the pic was planted by the former owner, and it has really grown in the last few years. My wife HATES it...

It will be a great day when ALPA is gone and we not longer have leaders who are first officers getting 92 hours of captan pay plus $1000 a month plus all expenses. Why talk of restoring our profession when you are getting a deal like that for working Tuesday and Wednesday. Before you start crying about how hard they work, I challenge any and all Delta pilots to wander into the DALPA office on a Monday or a Friday and find a 92 hour flight pay loss leader. You are more likely to spot Santa and the Easter Bunny. |

If you have proof of that you need to get it to the codeshare compliance guys asap... it's not in compliance.
AirTran pilots can't fly Delta airplanes. AirTran operated aircraft owned by Delta aren't counted as part of the Delta fleet for scope compliance purposes. Section 1.28 defines "Fleet" as aircraft in service, undergoing maintenance, or operational spares. I don't think reconfiguring an aircraft not yet in service for revenue service counts towards that definition. It did not at NWA, but DAL might have a different history there. I hope not. For ratio purposes if DAL pilot butts are not in 717 seats generating revenue, then neither should DCI butts be in 76 seater's doing it either. :mad: |

Carl I enjoy your posts, but Delta makes the decision on charters. All DCI does is fly the charter with a Delta Charter Rep onboard. I've flown charters w/ college men's BB teams (as well as women's teams) onboard and it is uncomfortable for them, as well as a 737 or MD would be because of their size (granted better on mainline but still uncomfortable). But again, that's a Delta call, not DCI. Even Pat Summit of TN flew w/ her team on an RJ charter I flew, a very gracious lady. A treat to meet her.
ASA even flew 4-5 RJs (50 seats) to Tuscaloosa once to fly the FB team to Athens Ga instead of a 757 or something similar. Needless to say Saban was ****ed! But, again, Delta made that decision of what plane to use. No doubt more profit w/ the RJs (at the time) was the deciding factor I would guess. I've flown the FL mens BB team (the '06 National champions team) on a 50, and it was painful watching Joakim Noah fold himself into row 10!! Those decisions are made by the teams themselves and it all boils down to money and egos! Just look what Auburn chartered in 2010 for the BCS game: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_74ORY2uICK...3p%2Bplane.JPG Auburn spent almost $3 million on BCS title game, but winning helps offset $600,000 shortfall | al.com |

Funny. Still practicing the politics of personal destruction... nice to see you haven't raised your game. Btw, I'm not running for anything. AA has run for negotiating committee and MEC chair before. Each time he has withdrawn prior to the vote. With the history of 54/20 and AA's participation in KW's campaign vs current 20 rep BB, it will be interesting to see how the politics flow this week. |
IMHO we need a steady hand on the tiller, whoever that is.
Behind he scenes the work of the Delta pilots is being done by those who tirelessly work at numerous issues exemplified by scheduling, safety, compliance and planning. The Company seems to have backed away from "constructive engagement." We need a strong unifying leader who is the public face of the Delta pilots, while privately cultivating the support structure and ensuring those in the batters box are ready to step up to the plate. I trust my Reps in this matter and will support their decision. They have a lot better information on this sort of thing than those of us in the bleachers. There are a couple of men I had hoped might be candidates who have not yet indicated an interest in running. |

Wow. Those United and Continental pilots are not getting along on that other thread. Were we ever that bad?
