You are all making this crew meal thing harder than it has to be,

No food? Train stops. Go eat. Come back. Fly. Write up ASAP (Hint: Feds read these).

Problem fixed. Same with Call in Honest. One or two weather events, and they'll be begging to fix the problem.

Man up, grow a pair and use some of that "big bubble" crap I keep hearing about.

Which is exactly what I have done and will do in the future!:cool: My problem was I did not realize we did not have a crew meal onboard until we were over the mid-west........My Bad,THAT will not happen again!!

Personally, I think the all-volunteer force RIGHT NOW (and for the past decade) is truly the GREATEST GENERATION.

These men and women are signing up knowing they'll likely go into harms way, and no one is compelling them in the least. That's truly "nut-up-or-shut-up" patriotism in action.

The "Greatest Generation" claim was used to describe the citizens of our entire country, not just the armed forces.

From what I understand, the collective response and resolve of ALL Americans was something that we have never seen before or after WWII.

That's all I was sayin' ;)

Heyas Denny,

Well, I've seen a couple of schools of thought on this:

Some guys won't touch ANYTHING that came from the galley.

Other guys simply eat what was given to them.

Yet other guys visually verify the crew meals prior to departure, INCLUDING the contents and INFORM the FAs when the pilot meals are to be served.

Takes all kinds.

Anyone else been having problems with kamikaze ACS drivers on the ramp in between terminals in Atlanta? I pushed back from A19 and cleared the road, started engines, turned on the taxi light and was bringing the power up (767-300) when a total of about 10 vehicles going in both directions decided they had the right of way. I filed an ASAP. Don't know if it will do much good but this has got to stop!!!

Trying to connect some dots here:

If the DAL pilot hiring website is now accepting apps (though still not "reviewing" any)

AND

From the Compass Updates Thread on the regional side: 2 classes in Dec. and more in January

AND

Cpz pilots get the first 20 slots in DAL newhire classes (with the 20% rolling max limitation)

AND

S. Dickson talking about 7% higher block hours for summer 2010 than previously forecast

AND

No reduction of MSP 320 flying even with SLC/MSP 320-M90swap.


Any guess what Arnie Kraby & co. will be doing soon?

Weren't we staffing neutral for last summers flying? A 7% increase would be about 800-900 extra pilots worth of flying wouldn't it?? I'm just sayin', combine that with training for half the seniority list, retirements starting in a couple years, flight/duty time changes...things that make you go hhmmmm.

I almost hate to ask this question, because I'm not sure I want to hear the answer....... If we list for a non-rev seat on a a DCI carrier, what is our priority? Isn't something like a S-3B? Does this work only for Comair, ASA and Skywest? I'm really looking at all my options getting into JFK. Can we even get on any of the other carriers that Delta subcontracts with into JFK? e.i., Pinnacle, FreedomAir, Shuttle America, etc.

First time I had even heard of an S-3B was down at VPS, (Eglin AFB) when there were 9 pilots waiting to get on a 50 seat aircraft..... I just drove to ATL. :)
