Hmmm? Maybe Scambo was on to something and Delta, maybe at the least, researched the idea.

There is a good reason why they have been sitting for 4 years. No one wants them.

Yeah, I think it was BB that posted awhile ago that they were not good airframes, unless these are different.

That is an OUTSTANDING question.

I wonder if we can find out somehow?
There's a lot of money at stake for many of us deadzoners.

I got a response from KP, and he said that was an investment decision of theirs. They got 49 million shares at a little over 20 a share. If they held they would have been worth over $600 million more.

You mean... you'd hit that.

It's what you said. :D

I still have my shares from the equity stake, but I have recently put in a sell order for 35.50 for half of them. It is too big a hunk of my 401k for me(I am a junior puke). I would like to keep them as I do see it going up towards 40 or better, but I need to diversify in case any craziness happens in our industry and the stock takes a hit.

I would make love to her, but I'd call her bad names while I'm doing it.

FWIW, any PA that is not verbatim out of the FOM, as in, "Flight Attendants please prepare the cabin for departure," while the aircraft is moving on the surface is a violation of sterile cockpit.

You are completely correct. That has to be one of the lesser understood potential gotchas. Seriously abused around Delta

I was a certified flight instructor instrument and flew right seat on a Piper Chieftain when they had to do maintenance flights. But lucky for me a senior fourth floor type owed my mom, don't know why he did but she said he just did, and thus I got to come straight here to Delta to the ER. It was nice skipping the whole regional and military thing. Why do you ask?"

A few years ago, I was flying with a guy who had a fairly high tool time score, and so I told him a story that was very similar to this. He got all ****ed and was all wrapped up around the axle for the next 3 days.

You can be a "good sht", or not. We all know it when we see it. But if you have to stand up and justify some quirky behavior, you're probably not.

Nu

The ala carte ticket pricing thing has finally gone too far.
