You must have a good stomach. I don't think they make enough Peptobismo for me to visit India.

It is a neat country with great food. Like everywhere you just need to know where to look.

I've got an iron skillet for a tummy. Been to India many times. ALWAYS got the "Delhi Belly." Even got sick once eating at the American Embassy (who'd smuggled in beef). Thai food is the way to go overseas.

Mmmmmmmm Thai, oh wait Buzz was talking food. Hummmmm, Buzz I still agree!

Yeah, you can get sick at almost any Embassy world wide. They told you it was beef! :eek:

All objective indications are that ALPA and Delta Management do not see domestic narrow body as a core part of the Delta (mainline) product. Just look where the money is spent on fleet renewal.

That statement is irritating as hell...and sadly, true.

Fact is that many of the pilots that live there love it. Good school, decent enough shopping that the Mrs does not whine, get to drive the golf cart to the grocery store, etc. It really is not that BAD of a life down there.

Only issue, is you get to see a lot of co-workers when you are out.

I've never been down there but I have this convuluted mental image that has been built up since starting with Delta and I really need to go see it soon. I'm picturing the neighborhood in Desperate Housewives and everybody knows who you are and whether you're a slam clicker or go to South America too much. :eek:

I live in the burbs way north of town near Lake Lanier, when I stop at the gas station on the way to work people stare. I doubt they think I'm an airline pilot because outside of the lake nobody round here has ever seen one of those before, they're probably thinking who wears a tie with a short sleve shirt other than Dwight Shrute? I think they guess cop or something. My neighbors kid asked me if I was a cop, I told her yes and I that I might give her a ticket for not wearing her helmet while riding her bike. She kind of laughed and then went home. :cool:

I forgot to tell her I wasn't really a cop so a couple of days later my wife made me go apologize.

I am sure this has been suggested, but why doesn't someone start a whole new forum just for Delta that is public? Because there are many people like myself that are interested but don't have the time or patience to try to read through 15,000 posts. If there was a forum where everyone could post different subjects and then respond to individual subjects it could be much more organized and easy to read through. Just a thought.... what do you all think?

Anyone notice that the DC-9 does not have a fleet page. Poor DC-9 :(
