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

That is a fine looking machine. It still looks a little dumpy, I think because it sits so low.

After all the years of flying the 75/76 with a full load of pax, watching them yank and bank that thing made me a little uneasy.

One of these days, me and Timbo are going to get to do a ferry flight of an empty LR...it'll make the 787-9 takeoff angle look lame. We will also make the first turnoff in ATL when we land.:D

More information about Lee Seham, from a source other than DALPA. Enjoy.

why is it DALPA guys keep bringing up the DPA? why are you obsessing about this Seeham guy? Are you setting him up as an excuse for more negotiating incompetency from DALPA on C15? Giving MD some wiggle room on his promise of an "historic" contract?

"Well, we really wanted to negotiate an historic C15...we tried our best, but the DPA and this Seeham guy prevented it."

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and *** the prom queen.

As always, your erudite opinion and refined manners reflect on what must be have been a blessed upbringing. I appreciated the "horse's mouth" viewpoint on "this Seeham guy". He seems perfect for DPA.

You approve of those pre pubescent ramblings? I thought you were smarter and more mature than that "Jerry". Guess I was wrong.

Fair question. The "typical" Delta pilot is someone who you can enjoy drinking a beer with on a layover, isn't uptight, may not agree with your opinion, but when disagreeing offers a reasonable counterpoint, then says "another round."

Usually the guy actually likes flying airplanes for a living and doesn't apologize for that (I swear sometimes the anti-establishment groupthink on some of these web boards seems to equate not working with virtue, but actually showing up for work with a good attitude as vice). However, he also has a life outside of airplanes as well. He doesn't spend a lot of time on web boards constantly equating the DAL pilot group to a bunch of "Stockholm Syndrome" zombies.
