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

As much as I love Europe, in 26yrs I have never had better layovers than my 4dy layovers in Palau. It is nothing short of spectacular! Of all the destinations out of Camp Narita, this is the one I will miss the most...

It been fun while it's lasted. :)

Could the company have discontinued our Pacific island flying without breaking the "old" agreement we had before this TA?

Me thinks the new hub will be in Seoul and we will only be doing long haul stuff.

Keep in mind that as the Narita operation has wound down we have added a lot of point to point from SEA. Overall Pacific block hours are up substantially since the merger. The numbers are available on the DALPA website. In 07/08 we had about 185,000 hours of Pacific flying. In 2014 it is over 230,000.

I have been putting the keyboard on whenever I put it away. I think I may have a bad keyboard. Every time I leave it connected with the machine turned off, I find the Surface battery depleted and the tablet very hot.

The data is available to any member. Perhaps now your arguments can be based upon the same data your representatives used to guide their vote to ratify the T.A.
I'm looking forward to the description of the improvements to our scope by our negotiators.

Thanks, everyone, for the gouge the other night. JB also recommended foran's. Got in late and wanted to stay close, so I went there. Tried Short's Huma Lupa Licious. Rock-solid IPA. Food was...OK.

Long DTW might become a Plan B layover:

- Pack a couple cans of Dale's
- Chill in sink using hotel laundry bag with ice
- Order pizza
