Anyone on here have any info on buying gold bars? I figure since everyone thinks I'm filthy rich I just as well have a few gold bars in the safe to throw around during parties.

Hey I agree. But if we "monetized" this profit sharing with even significant pay raises there would be some serious objections
But you know what, maybe we can just change the system and prove to Wall Street that maybe this way that DAL is pursuing is better than the status quo and maybe others could emulate it, rather than get rid of it.

Not sure who eventually figured it out but some lucky dude got a GS.

1) Colorado Gold -- Precious Metals Broker -- Bullion Coins and Bars
2) APMEX | Silver, Silver Bar, Silver Bars, Silver Bullion, Gold and More - APMEX.com | APMEX.com
3) Precious Metals Investing - Gold Trading - Invest in Silver and Gold
4) GoldDealer.com - Great National Pricing - Free Shipping
This should get you started. Look for fees, shipping time, type and weight. Prices are getting lower.

If we were all smart enough to quit making stupid mistakes like these, I would agree.

My last 2 F/O's (one a new hire) asked me "how's this look" on a simple speed change in the FMS! And do we need to verify a runway extension?(it's not moving the jet!) Sure seems like we're getting overly "cautious" and slipping to a VERY rigid cockpit. S acronym's anyone

So if you're on LCR, you are dead to them at 0800 Saturday, or 1800 if you're on SCR.

I am confused with the first paragraph's last sentence. What does it mean "if you don't start duty before 2000..."? If I start a duty period (FDP or SCR) that runs past 2000 Saturday, then I will not have 30 rest in last 168.
Also, ...on my first day of reserve, I got assigned SC at 1100. Did my duty begin at 0000 (no rest comment on schedule) or is the first 11 hours of that first day considered rest?

BTW, my brief into the ATL on a Cavu day is: "Std vmc brief. Any questions?" (How many bazillion times has an ATL pilot flown into ATL? I really don't think I need any more brief than this to be safe. YMMV.)
