Watching more on the Win10...seems to have some nice features that would be helpful on the flight deck. Snap multiple apps together on one desktop. Run multiple desktops and access with one click. You could have an ops manual desktop, Departure desktop, enroute desktop and arrival desktop as one example. Arrival/Approach/Airport plates all snapped together on one desktop ready to go. Naahh, let's stick with Commodore 64 errr WinRT.

The usual last AE to position pilots for summer flying is on JAN. Crew planning seems a little gun shy from all the marketing flip flops and seems to be waiting longer on some staffing choices. The mini base issue has yet to be settled also.

Isn't that the new Airbus A350 Formation flight?

You know the airspace is getting tight in Europe when they have to fly formation just to get out!

Can't be B1's. They're all deployed to the sandbox...aren't they?

The lack of back-filling has basically turned what could have been "great" AE's into "Pretty good" AE's.

It seems to me as long as this hiring keeps up things should be improving.

I agree. Everything is varied.

Hopefully, even though there isn't room for movement upwards, they are at least adding people behind you.

Yep! Growth is good regardless!

Thanks much for the IT words Bar. Think I'll look for a pro2 on Black Friday. Or send the wife... well, add it to her list.

In order to avoid starting a thread, does anyone know how one can JS on Delta with a checked bag? I would think go to the ticket counter and ask them to create a listing as a JSer but everytime I've tried that I always get told to just go to the gate to list for the JS (which obviously one can't do while trying to check a bag).

Any # to call ahead of time to at least create a PNR/shell listing to facilitate a bag check?

Thank you
