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

Don't think Delta ever gave those out and I am not sure what they would be used for. Time would be better spent doing the practice tests and ESV preparation.

Back when Delta actually trained its pilots, the cockpit panels were often mounted on a trainee's hotel walls and used for chair flying in between bouts of studying systems and preparing for orals.

Yes, but then we got MD88's and nothing worked the way it was supposed to and they figured ... to hell with it. If you teach them how it supposed to work then they just ask a lot of questions and write it up at outstations.

Fuel pump switches to be operated by the second revision to the bulletin which was the supplement to the third FOM publication for the year; pending FAA approval.

Don't do anything else unless the Captain or QRH tell you to.

Indeed. And if you're the Captain? :confused:

With 25 year upgrade ... you will figure it out by then.

Ask FTB for his MD88 Cockpit Flow diagrams :)

As a new hire I asked about recommended flows and was told "I dunno ... you figure it out." Asked about ESV gouge and was told "we all failed it, but we aren't flying Delta jets, you are." After that I stopped asking questions and started studying.

This picture goes well with how my night went. 23K with no recovery... 18 hours of pay to drive to the airport and back. I love it!

I'm guessing the mounting to the wall hotel walls stopped since trainees have unlimited access to the CAPT trainers.

They don't give out posters anymore? My last school was in 2011, and I got posters. We've had unlimited access to CAPTs since before I was a noob in 2007.
