Hmm... I did the UPS select thing for the signature and that was enough. Strange.

Me too. Worked like a charm. Tablet was left while I was on a trip.

Which part did he say?

1 we're not retiring them...this we know.

2 we are looking to buy more of them... This is news.

That's what I remember him saying. That DAL is specifically looking at P & W 757's that may come to the market. And 717's.

The used 757's were explained as replacements for aircraft that would need heavy checks. Since the 74 or so 757's that are planned to remain in the fleet will all get new interiors they stated it was cheaper to park some of ours and purchase used low cycle airframes before the interior mods. Sadly it's not planned as a gain in airframes.

That's still better than parking them and not replacing them. That would be welcome news, if it happened.

In my airplane world -- and that's the only world that matters, of course. :D -- nothing can replace a 757.


Especially, not that French stuff. :D

If they can't buy used airframes they will heavy check ours. Either way the net will be the same. Additional 717's would however be growth airframes.

For those of you who wore the uniform and agreed to risk a bullet for your country:

Thank you.

Been using the web based system for months. It is horrible and for December I'd like to be a bit more specific.

I haven't had an issue. Windows 8.1. Have you tried deselecting some of the items to synchronize? Maybe only go back a month or two?

If memory serves you have written about the Surface Pro 3. I'm strongly considering an i7 version for general use and hoping I'll be able to edit GoPro videos. Any insight? I'm thinking about the 256 GB version. I can use the $400 I save over the 512 GB version to invest in a server with a back up hard drive or just a plain old external hard drive. Hoping someone runs a deal for black Friday/cyber Monday.

Agreed.

There is so much hate pent up in the world, without our guys keeping it in check, the world would quickly descend into utter chaos. I think there are a lot of people out there who don't understand this concept.

But with that said, it is military tribute month for the NFL, any of you guys have ideas for what type of tribute you would want to see on TV. I'm open to extra ideas.
