Woz, is cool.

Steve was a jerk.

Apple exists because Woz cared enough about the technology to not GAS about Steve's considerable failures as a person. At least that's been the conclusions reached by the books I've read and by chatting with Woz online (the guy is crazy accessible for who he is).

Criticism is good. Doing it relentlessly, without illustrating who actually has it better than you is not criticism; it's whining.

I really doubt this. they are finally moving the 747#5 sim to ATL in September. Sometime in the future, they will likely run out of sim capacity if retirements and all other projections stay the course, but then you have to have the simulators to put in the building.

The property is still for sale. last I heard you can scoop it up for a bargain basement price of 15 mil.

747#5? There were only 2 747-400 simulators. Like I said its a rumor, and as they are moving the 747-400's to ATL your scenario makes more sense.

Heard we are looking for training resources where ever they are available.

....

Moral question: If you are in a hotel with very slow internet, and they left their router on it's default password, do you go in and re-set the password to enjoy unfettered access? ... .

Admin, admin? Really?

Another question since I am on the topic, what is the funniest network name you've seen blasted through the neighborhood? After we had a recurring problem I set mine to "Your dog poops in my yard" and set the power to the maximum supported ... three neighbors commented it was funnier than hell, one neighborr got mad, but at least they keep their dog in their own yard now.

Change it to: "I have binoculars and your wife is sure hot", and make another one mad. Substitute "daughter" for "wife", and you won't have to worry about the next name change.

Hadn't heard that, but I think that horse it outta the barn.........

However, a cool idea a guy had in the training van as we went past back post merger but before they closed NATCO, was to referb building A into a dorm with lots to do (since it wasn't close to anything) and do initial FA training and pilot indoc there.

Still a waste of space, but an out of the box idea for sure:D Party:cool::eek:

Ferd

That's a joke, right? Why would they move an entire category (and displace, and re-train) to ATL for... one departure per day? :rolleyes:

The ATL 777 cat. has been slowly migrating to DTW, it seems to be the Asia bird of choice, but they don't want to displace (and retrain) the entire ATL 777 category all at once, so they are doing it through attrition vs. displacements. They have not replaced a single retired ATL 777 Capt. since Cal left, 16 months ago, and I know at least 13 others have retired since then, with several more coming this summer. No ATL 777 A/E's though, only DTW.

Why? Entire floors of empty classrooms and plenty of empty sim bays in ATL.

Heard they were going to insure it for $5 Billion, then use it for a homeless shelter (and Endeavor crew housing, same difference...) write it off against the refinery profits then wait for the homeless to do what they do with all their shelters, ... burn it down. Collect the insurance and pay a dividend to shareholders.

No really, heard they are looking for training resources where ever they can find them. Growth planned for 2015 (wonder where they are going to get the airplanes ....)
Holy Smokes, I was mostly correct!
