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

I'm sick and tired of the borderline malware ads from updateplugins.com.

Since Internet Brands can't bring themselves to properly screen ad content, I've for the first time installed ad-block software.

I understand the ads fund the site and make it possible, that's why I have so far resisted installing ad-blockers.
To the operators of this site I'd recommend a heart-to-heart conversation with IB that not screening ads is bad for business...

Cheers
George

Is that the one that redirects the page? That ticks me off to no end. Seeing what can be done about it...

No. You retain double pay, no credit for your GS trip, and you will be made to fly as much of the other trip as you are legal for.

Good grief.

If you can't read, comprehend, and keep things in perspective, then I can't help you. Have a good day.

I guess that makes you well, a nothing. Enjoy the ignore list.

New hire question.

I need to get a van time changed to arrive on time for TOE. I'm on hold with Crew Accommodations; how long does it usually take to talk to an actual person? I waited 15 minute the first time figuring I was lost in the queue. This seems excessive.

Edit: on hold for 14 minutes on the second call before someone picked up. I think the issue has been solved.

After you, my brother. No one who knows me has ever considered me mindless or a parrot. Even DAL 88 Driver agrees with me from time to time, albeit reluctantly and with caveats attached.

How about a Boeing v. Airbus fight?

I'm tired of the Delta fight club.

I say Boeing might have a shot because of the better cabin configuration of the -900; but cheap is cheap.

My guess:

ALPA's Trans Atlantic and Virgin Negotiations will have to be substantially concluded before Delta management announces their wide body order.
The wide body order numbers will trickle out.
Delta will buy (regardless of ALPA's negotiations) the cheapest aircraft they can for Delta.
Delta will continue to lavish our big Capital Expenditures on owned subsidiaries (like Endeavor and Virgin Atlantic, which needs a new fleet and who has no money to speak of)

Alan,

You are generally one of the most level headed and objective posters on here. It amazes me how some guys get so aggressive and critical of fellow DAL Pilots - we are all on the same team, we all want the same thing.

I have been attacked on here every so often - usually when another Pilot
misinterprets my meaning - I guess it goes with the territory.

Keep up the excellent and informative posts.
