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

It is quite correct Bar...whether it "appears" that way to you or not. We can now shrink our international block hours by about 100,000 hours per year AND the company gets to keep the Virgin Atlantic joint venture.

Loading data into the bowels of the MEC library one day before the vote is withholding by any definition. I know you call this transparency. I'm glad your happy.

I've been using the Surface tablet for a few days now, and was wondering if anybody else is having trouble keeping it turned off while in their bag. It seems that no matter how I put it in the bag, whenever I move the bag around I find that it has turned back on. Can you change some kind of setting to make it harder to turn on? Kind of hard to keep it charged this way...

What happens to this joint venture if our stake in Virgin is sold?

Once DAL no longer holds a minimum of 25% ownership stake:

If there is still a joint venture agreement then the new LOA provisions will remain intact.

If the JV is terminated but a codeshare exists, then it will fall under PWA 1.E.2.

Connect it to the keyboard cover whenever you put it in your bag. That will keep it off.

DON'T COMMUTE

Just move to Mecca and drive to work......It's not THAT bad!

Save your commuting/hotel/loss of GS money and buy a freaking castle when you retire!

Seriously....Don't commute. You'll live longer!

Tried it, experiment failed, driving to work was great, Atlanta sucked, wife absolutely hated it, I moved back home near family, best career decision I ever made.

Now that's cool.

Obtw, whale season opens January 1.

There were a few other guys who did that as well I think.

It'll be interesting to see how the next A/E A/D shakes out. Right now the bottom whale guys can't hold the 777 in ATL, not sure about DTW, but supposedly they are going to post openings on the 777 so there (hopefully) won't be a waterfall of displacements off of it.
