Start a completely new fleet, with no current orders, in under 10 months? I'll have to see it to believe it.

Victimized? No one who will fly to ALV+15 is being "victimized." That's what a reserve is paid to do. Under the old contract I was consistently flown over the ALV in the busy months. The summer of 2010 was a busy one for NB FOs. Once again, how many times have you flown to ALV+15? How many times under the old contract did you actually get within 2 hours of the ALV and get released? Because it was maybe once for me. In 4 years of reserve.

The 7ER. That worked for the M88, right? :D
Maybe a 5 day differences course. If you're from the MD88, 7 days. |

Is the 'next edition' of the 787 out yet?
I know Richard pushed off the 787's NW had on order, until 2020, but those were the first edition jets with all the problems, the ones Richard said of; We don't want the first edition of anything... So...are the longer 787's already flying and being delivered? Or has Richard changed his mind on the First Edition 787's? Oh, and what about the 787 Fence? Remember, those 787's that NW had on order were also fenced, and the 5yr. Fence doesn't come down until Jan. 1, 2015, so if indeed there are 787's delivered to Delta prior to that, my guess is they will be fenced for the NW pilots only. FNWA guys can have it. I don't think I can deliver a good PA halfway across the pond during a thermal runaway.."folks, please disregard the orange glow just aft of the wing root, we're venting the uncontrollable battery fire to the atmosphere?!" |

Rumor alert:
DAL to announce a 50 aircraft 787 order with delivery to begin late this year. And a 50 wide body RFP to Airbus and Boeing. It's a rumor but the source is impeccable. |

IDK. Might be a quick way to 'spin up'. APA has stated that n/b order to delivery is approx. 12-13 months, w/b 17-18 months. Not sure if Boeing has an 'white tail' slots available from some of their cancellations which would reduce the lag time. |

Or is it section 8? I get confused.
