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

Looking, might due something radical like the A330. It has the best trip mix now. Just hate the thought of the school. Not to mention I found a summary of all the bizarre ways bus pilots have gotten themselves in trouble. I am afraid I could invent new and even more spectacular methods.

I presume he's referring to the Pinchanickle bankruptcy. It would have happened without C12K, mind you, but having the additional 76-seaters to place at Pinnacle (plus the SSP sweetener) was what allowed DAL to get their regional "cost reset" without the 9E pilots just burning the place down. I argued at the time that the 9E BK was the actual "fleeting opportunity" behind C12k. But it's a stretch for a 9E guy to blame the paycuts on C12k. They were already BK and if C12k hadn't passed, DAL likely would have done a controlled shutdown to retire 50-seaters unilaterally.

In my unbiased opinion you'd look much better in a 765. Four day differences school vs a month of French lessons. My suggestion has zero to do with the fact that you're senior to me.

Unlike Boeing pilots, who have this automation thing totally dialed! :eek:

Not a knock on Boeing, mind you. *Any* modern plane can get you if you're not completely familiar with the automation, comfortable without it, and ready to turn it off when it does something unexpected.

Seriously? Most guys you fly with were forced to fly more in 2013 than in 2012? Really?

You wanna instruct: the working conditions are what they are, apply or don't. I don't care, they'll find, train, and qualify people willing to do the job. Special treatment for one small fleet of instructors is a non-starter.

I have to commute on standby and pay for my own crashpad because I CHOOSE to live where I want and work where I have bid my position. They're no different in that regard, IMHO.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree..... I have experienced the difference in quality of instruction between someone who has experience on the plane verses experience flying the box. Just saying.

+717 But he'd look good in the 330 also. He's a cat sailor, what could possibly go wrong?
