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

That post is like a little piece of paper that got rolled into a tiny ball, and 80 and ftb are like kittens that just momentarily froze, across the room.

It's on.

That's pretty much what it looks like. Then we pounce.

Boomer, is here yet? Boomer is great at fighter jet recognition too.

14 of the 757's which are being updated are slated for Hawaii flying.

Good points all.

If each and every one of us takes the time to write on call our reps on C2015 we will hit the grand slam we deserve.

Let's not get lazy.

Great post!

Let's also agree that when all the pilots take the time to vote on something, like C2012, those in the minority on the vote will recognize it as the will of the body.

I like the idea of 4 smaller engines on the 757. Makes it faster.

Strange to see the hill to 26R without parts of broken Douglas jets scattered all over the place.

What do you mean "follow the money"? Are there clues out there I'm not picking up on...like our current growth plans in Seattle and LA?

I bought 4000 shares of HA stock in my brokerage link 3 years ago in anticipation of a merger, so it just HAS to happen, right?

I forget who said it, but I agree we REALLY need live video LEC meetings and electronic voting of resolutions. This is the 21st century. As the pilot group becomes more and more commuter, I really don't see any other way. I'm probably the average guy on here, in 18 years I've commuted in for one meeting....and that was during the merger discussions.

T is dead on about longer trips. NWA had a 4:15 minimum day, and it's a huge driver on trip construction. Now, can someone smart explain a minimum day vs what we just agreed to. It looks real similar.......

So, anyone else been on a 737-900 with a whole lot of slow moving families contributing to an aft CG while unloading?
