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

I was trying to do the math, any chance of a Vietnam guy still being at Delta?

The American side of the war ended in 1973 and there are 16 guys hired prior to 1977, 131 guys hired prior to 1980, 260 are 1981 or earlier.

Is it possible?

Put these on airplanes.

Does it make them stealthy or something?

All those switches move the wrong way too!!!

On one 8 minute flight from LAX to SNA our jumpseater was speechless. He had never seen so much button pushing and switch flipping in his career. His eyes got real big and his jaw dropped when we told him this was only leg two of 8 today. Also only leg 2 of 32 for our four day trip.

But at least our 21 year old SoCal flight attendants were always hot!! Fly empty fly naked. They would flash us if we could land and taxi to the gate without making the toilet seat fall down.

Yeah... This guys makes guy number 3 in 7 years that I'd rather not see again. That's why it stands out so much!

I never knew where the F-15/USAFA thing came from as I had never flown with one that drove me crazy or anything. Finally I found the guy! It's like I traced the rainbow to the pot of gold or something.

You were tracing rainbows? ummmmmmm ?????

I miss the Vietnam era guys. They were all good with whatever. Didn't matter navy, AF, army, fighter, tanker... you couldn't tell unless you asked. Zero stress. Big picture always.

+1. Especially the Helo guys. Folks today have nothing on their ability to multitask..... I'll leave it at that. They were truly amazing guys...

I thought that was the outsourced factory that made 787 fuselage sections.
