The surface is on sale for $138 somewhere.

I think the Chicago center fire will get the blame for the surface delay.

According to Flight Global....

Air Lines has narrowed down its options for a planned widebody order to either the Airbus A350-900 or the Boeing 787-9, says chief executive Richard Anderson.

“We’re in the process of either choosing a 787-9 or an A350-900,” he said during a speech at Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport Foundation on 24 September, based on a recording provided by Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter Kristen Leigh Painter. “The important thing about that is that fleet is going to unlock the longer haul markets.”

The tablet is running Windows RT.

Delta mostly runs Windows XP.

Windows 9?

I already got it. It put me at 112 for the month.

There's only 4 hours credit time in my month (deadheads) and my actual projection is 114.2 from two trips in a 15 day span at the end of the month. Sooooo, I guess the bottom line is I'm bidding reserve in nov with thanksgiving vacation un useable for the first 14 days (14 nov shows 98.8 hrs in 28 in the look back) tiger blood, bi-winning.

I agree. No one has been a fiercer advocate for Delta pilots doing Delta flying, and for only Delta pilots negotiating flying with Delta management than BB has. Sure, he's a bit divisive from a N/S perspective, and he often defends ALPA when doing so seems irrational, but those are not cardinal sins.

If he happens to be on FPL, why deny it?

I despise hidden agendas, which is why I detest guys who pretend to be something they are not, or who deny their affiliations.

I just want to know what general position, if any, he has in ALPA's hierarchy, in an attempt to better frame his perspective.

Yeah, it's free for Windows 8 users.

Part of MS's good/crap strategy.
Windows 3.1 ......good
Windows 95 .......crap
Windows 98 .......good
Windows ME.......LoL
Windows XP........good
Windows Vista ....crap
Windows 7.........good
Windows 8.........crap
Windows 9.........????

You have the surface pro right? It looks like 9 will be worth the update.
