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

Go to a FedEx shipping station (Kinko's, too), show them your Delta ID and they'll brief you the discounts available on next-day or two-day shipment times.

Personally, I've always used the two-day rate due to the discount and cost, but as always, DYODD. YMMV. :)

From a pretty reliable source: We will sell 10 757-200s to the NBA. They will mod the interiors, livery remains DAL and we will operate them as dedicated charter birds.
The expect to use them for MLB charters as well.

I will admit I don't follow "regular season" hockey, but the Hawks-Kings series has been the most exciting I've ever seen! Well, now that it's tied up again, maybe I spoke too soon. Go Hawks!!!

Anyone with experience shipping boxes on FedEx? What kind of discount do we get? Thanks.

And that Eskimo had a big grin on her face!

I know this isn't the end all but Global Plane Search lists only two A319s at $24 and $22M.

Airbus Airliners for Sale in the USA at GlobalPlaneSearch.com

Now if they want A320s, no shortage. 20 year old bird seems to be around $5M, 15 year old bird around $17M and a new one at $48M.

So I wonder why not A320s?

There are only 9 757s listed and the only one with a price is $9.5M for 1995 ETOPs. I wonder if the cargo market is eating those up?

They show MD-88s... I know winner winner... at $3-$4M. And those should have airstairs.

Why not go with that or is it that they need transcon capability? I wonder why not go to Embraer and get the EMB-190 Lineage with an all first class interior. I'm sure they'd sell a 8 of those for a decent price?

Speaking of Dublin... Spousal unit and I are heading over there for two nights. Crew hotel is full. Any suggestions? Were just planning on taking the bus into town. Wander around one day and take a half day tour the next. Quick getaway while our lil hoser is at summer camp.
