It's DALPA's fault in a purple world, not doubt... oh wait, it is an incompetent Delta that is at fault. I really wish you would go work for IT since you obviously have all the answers.


You are amazing but keep it coming, at least it's amusing.

We need a Top 10; Similarities between McDonald's and McDonnell's:
1. Covered in grease
2. Possibly inadvisable for your long term health
3. Most do it at least three times a day
4. You always feel kinda bad afterwards
5. Both come in an aluminum wrapper
6. Cheap
8. Both drip on your flight kit
9. People claim McDonald's wings are not really chicken. Pilots claim Douglass wings don't make lift.
10. You can't stop McDonald's.

a buddy is texting me, sitting on an M88... asking how old they are? Says it appears to be the oldest aircraft he's ever been on...?

It's mis-reported. The pilots kept asking for chocks to be put in while the aircraft was still on the pavement, but rolling verrry slowly. The emergency crews said they'd chock it when it stopped.

It never stopped until it was in the grass...It just slowly drifted there.

What are you saying? The media got it wrong? That's unpossible!

777 guys.... how often is DXB actually payload optimized? Travelnet always gives the warning for it.

[QUOTE=Sink r8;1615678]Gaggle works. So does: an ASAP report...

Good point. I'll start writing the outline now.

Dear Penthouse Forum:

I never thought this would happen to me...
