Does anyone have any visibility on the next AE yet? The crew resource update says its to make room for new hires, but isn't it also the first one that melds the fenced pilots and also has a one year conversion? Or am I missing something?

I'm betting Friday of this week. Also, I think this is the last one before you 777 and 744 guys get to be at the merged airline

Except for the prescription copay (I don't think you can use a LP FSA for that), absolutely! And it's before tax money. I use it for glasses/exam and dental. The last couple of years either my wife or I have needed a crown and it has come in handy to have that money already put aside. Now $500 can be carried over year to year so you don't have to be right on the money in your estimate of expenses.

I fly the 717. I agree with ftb, when you hear 10 feet don't do anything. If you flare then you just drive the back wheels into their pavement. Another issue is we are all so scared about landing distance and heating up the brakes that we as a fleet are More concerned with getting her on the ground and stopped without using brakes. Also the auto throttles come back at a nice slow pace but if you try and get the plane to touch down early in the zone you lower the nose and speed up. Then you float thru the zone and end up not being able to hold the flare at ten feet.
Overall great plane excellent for the missions it is on

Denny,
One more HSA question. I want to max it out and have Delta health rewards of 550 and contribution of 250(just me and my son). Do I deduct the 800 from the 6650 for my annual election or just elect 6650 and they will do the cyphering.

Retard at 30-20 feet and below 10 feet to go not only release flare back pressure but pitch forward slightly... I've flown with many DC9 guys and this what I've been told. It works about 50% of the time

Way too many notices of Delta Pilots passing lately. Blessings on the families as we enter this holiday season.
