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

I gave my dog new food. He's farting like crazy all night. Oh it's awful.

Thanks for letting me share that.

My wife is so upset. I'm afraid to shoot him.

They have to give us two minutes separation and that's perfect for the warmup. I want to save fuel. Some of you FOs are all hot to trot about starting these engines, you're wasting money and taking money out of my profit check. What? Oh yeah, go ahead and start it, is it up yet? I need it. Tell him yes we're ready, what?

Oh fine, um..... okay let me see here, yes, first fix is... I mean wait, the departure is the Braves... where is the PDC?... okay, Braves departure and our first..... our first fix is......."

LOLZ, angry cat is angry....been there, done that, got the hairball.

Seriously, though. Man up. A certain airline put newbs in the mighty -9 for nearly 50 years.

I'm nowhere near that! On track for just under 150... but it's been a lucritive year on our little ATL french fleet. Pretty much every trip on the ATL 320 is subpar, so there's not much change. :)

I just flew with the top earning captain again yesterday... he's going to be close to 400 for the year. Yowza!

80, That's not how GA does it. It must be somebody else. He flies his whole schedule and then gets green slips. How do I know this. He calls me every time he gets a green slip.

I can't imagine working that hard. I'd rather stay home.

It stings ... I can explain ... maybe best via PM.

Did you wash your hands before you went back to choppin'?:o

I mean, how hard can it be to operate on a rocket? :D

Not the one I was thinking of... but...

Ha. The FMS and AP almost adds more to the frustration because we are not all on the same page of what either can and cannot do.

fwiw I had a great time with vast majority of the Captains on the 88. We all get it, today might be good, tomorrow might suck.

Embrace the suck.

Nothin' new, during the NE merger all the short Boeings had FD-108 nav, all others Sperry. No training no problem, Middle of January too. Just keep the bananas on Howard Johnson's roof. Had to be there.

Funny stuff on here... thx for the laughs.

I spoke with an AA buddy yesterday ( it's true, I need to go extra-airline to find friends)- he was all over the scope issue and bringing all flying under the APA and AA umbrella, and he's not normally the type of guy to GAS about anything work related. They are serious about it.

What is taking so long for the bids? Is the new FAR causing a slowdown, or is the company making us wait until the contractual deadline as punishment for the union questioning SDs letter?
