What is vacation slide?
Patience don't worry about it till your done with your check ride. You will be given a mentor . You can spend about an hour after OE to get caught up on all the terms

That's normal for anyone who knows they are going to receive total consciousness on their deathbed.

You've obviously never caddied for the Dalai Lama.

Big hitter, the Lama.

Ya'll (plural - ya'll'all?) should take a look at the American/US Air Merger forum. Specifically this thread.. Delta vs. Proposal - Group 1 pay.

As a teaser, I included a comment from the thread.


"The PLAN is to put Delta/United/SWA at a competitive DISADVANTAGE to drive industry rates lower.

Personally I'd LOVE to give the new hire pilots MORE jobs at lower rates that put those three out of business. Delta and United pilots with ALPA are the BANE of the industry and have done MORE damage to the earnings capacity of the profession than we could have ever done at US Airways. Parker and Kirby had a map that the US Airways pilots wouldn't take one for the (ALPA) gipper and we are where we are. Throw in the APA shoving a shift up the a$$ of the TWA pilots and.....VOILA!

INSTANT DECERTIFICATION! He!!, under the RLA you STILL have to pay extortion money to the lawyers at APA and ALPA for doing.....WHAT EXACTLY??? The best money the Company has EVER spent....YOURS!!!"

Don't let it get to you Elliot. Remember this is being spoken by a man that has been flying in the Capt seat for FO rates for a whole bunch of years now.

Yikes . Delta News just tweeted out that 600 flights canceled tomorrow because of the blizzard. Better check your schedules.
