Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Yeah the airlines are no fun anymore- said with a British accent. I was told by one that I look just like her son. They are hiring young ones again but the old ones are telling so many scary stories about pilots that they avoid us like Ebola. Oh yeah and we don't layover with them anymore either.

I'm in Sapporo on a GS to ferry an airplane back to Seattle after an engine change. Supposed to get back to Seattle on the 17th about 10am. Before we left the hotel in NRT this morning, I noticed a Hong Kong trip in open time that left on the 18th. I swapped my trip on the 20th for it..........drum roll..........We just got notified that the airplane won't be ready so we are delayed 24 hours! KaChing!:D

Sorry guys, I'm like a kid in a candy store now. I can't believe it worked out just like I hoped it would. I just couldn't keep it to myself.:o

How times change. :eek:

My buddy is luckily blessed with young looks, so on the 88 the FA comes up and asks that the Captain what he wants to drink and ignored him. Then she turns back around and says don't worry, I'll be back to breast feed you later.

There bid was for another month, I think all the days being asked off were for May.

Fwiw. My brother doesn't do Christmas either. Hates it. Loved it growing up though. But he would be one to work it.

But the kimonos in the drawer are really sweet, and the free breakfast is very good.

Who is Jonas Gray, and how did he give the Patriots 4 rushing touchdowns??

And Gronk! Are you kidding me?

Before anyone gets upset... due to repeat infractions, PD got a 3 day break. It says banned, but it's for 3 days.
