PM sent. If it's ok with Delta1067, I'd be happy to share my response either publicly or through PMing whomever would like to argue with me. As an intermittent poster, I don't have a particular desire to drag the thread off on this tangent. As a guy who thinks he's right, however, I'll be happy to if there's enough interest.

According to the press release from Delta when it announced the 330 IGW purchase, it says: "The 10 A330-300 aircraft will augment Delta's existing fleet of 32 A330s. The first A330 delivery is scheduled for spring of 2015, with three additional airplanes scheduled for that year, four in 2016, and the final two in 2017."
Spring is a large timeframe usually between March and June right?

Characterizing human girls as Flirting Machines dehumanizes them to a certain extent.
Specifying them as brown, gives the impression that there is something about their brownness that ads weight to the idea they are machines and not human. (Why is their brownness important?)
Maybe sexist and racist. I don't know.
I definitely understand the attraction many have to the brown girls in question, however, because my wife is a LBFM.

I don't know but, if by LBFM, we are talking 'Little, Brown Flirting Machines; I think the problem is this:

My girlfriend is a LBFM. If you look at the original post it was not meant as racist. If someone finds it offensive and racist that I ask the Mods to remove the post. If it was truly a racist post than I think a lot of people would be up in arms over it. One guy called the post racist and I couldn't disagree more. If KEF Iceland was the popular layover on the 747-400 and a lot of pilots had "BWFM" awaiting their arrival, would BWFM be a racist term?
I am also capable of being offended by things that weren't intended to be offensive.
Long story short: I don't know what I'm talking about.

I take the blame for that not being clear. You are of course spot on. When new 330 A and 777 A positions are being dropped on an AE they will be championed as a reason why voting for C2012 was a good thing. Probably even after C2015 is LOAed. Nevermind that it's a net loss of jets. It's how math is evidently done nowadays.
Now my guess is someone here will complain about the loss of jets and thus the international scope language is the culprit. Someone else will fire back these new planes have created X number of new jobs and we can utilize them more thus they mean more jobs then the old Jets could have ever meant. Now this is all thanks to C2012. It works, as long as you don't count the Jets leaving or already gone.
