It's blue and black.

You'll understand when you're asked. It's blue and black.

 

Well, fwiw, they are saying they're going to shrink ATL717B in the coming months.

 

Gaaa...what?!? Where did you hear that? By how much?

 

Well, we aren't getting any more 777's so that time has to come from somewhere. Right now, DTW doesn't have a single non-DH departure for their 777 category, BUT... the 747's are going away, and a lot of their departures are out of DTW, so they might keep the DTW 777 base to back fill the 747 trips as they are parked.

ATL still has about 50% of it's 777 trips that start as DH to somewhere else, like LAX, to fly SYD, NRT and now PVG, so there might be some ATL displacements if they open LAX 777. BUT, I seriously doubt you'll see a single 777 Captain 'put in his papers' if they do open an LAX 777 base. Anyone who was going to do that would have done it a few months ago, when they were offered 36 weeks of pay to go out early. The 777 guys still here are here for life.

 

Damn, AE not even out and already 3 senior to me bidding LAX717A….Oh well, too much traffic anyway!

 

I agree. Wife says white and gold. Not sure we're gonna survive the night!

 

To equal whatever ATL717A is. probably with some margin I'd suppose. It would be by not back filling as FOs bid off, presumably the "summer off" crowd.

Heard that from a multitude of sources and they haven't been putting people into it either so I guess it makes some sense.

 

My wife flipped out when I said black and blue. She totally sees white and gold, most of the time.

I'll hand it to Georgia Tech though, they said it's obviously gold and white.

 

Good Lord, where did this come from? We're USNA parents. My wife got it fm a parent's forum. I'm laying under the Beast trying to run some wires for a backup cam, face and eyes full of sand, grease, whatever. The spousal unit comes out "You've got to see this!"

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes, right now!"

"&!@#*)!"

I still don't get it. I'm so sick of the internet.

 

Anyone -

First post, and I hope I get it posted correctly.

Question: does anyone have any credible info on how many hours Delta is wanting a guy to have in the last 12 months to get an interview?

My numbers:
- 23 yrs flying, all Air Force
- 3,100 hrs IP
- 4,000 hrs PIC
- 5,050 hrs Total
- 4,980 hrs Turbine
- 3,100 sorties (Turbine)
- 1,324 MEL sorties (mostly T-37s with about 2.5 yrs in C-130s)
- Never been a DO, FE or had any Safety stink on me (bummer)
- Currently a T-6 Texan IP (last 9 yrs straight) but have only got about 191 hrs in last 12 months (that's about average for me over those 9 yrs). Yes, I'm trying to ramp up hours but every day I fly "today" I lose 1 day's worth of flight time (if I flew that day) from 1 yr ago. So, is there a min number of hours Delta likes in the last 12 months and if so, what is it?

Bueller? Bueller?....

Publishing aps in about a week. I'm sick of counting beans from my AF flight records folder.

Thanks in advance!
