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

Well this seems to be a natural outcome of German "drastic" gun control.

When the suicidal idiot can't get the weapon to off himself, he resorts to a mass killing.

This is akin to the people on the left coast who blame the "poor design" of the golden gate bridge due to all the suicides..... bottom line is a jumper's gonna jump

If there is ever a competition for stupid posts, you're for sure going to medal with this one.

I knew a "suicidal idiot" in a country with strong gun control laws, and she didn't struggle at all to figure it out, without hurting anyone else.

Giving guns to people so they can off themselves? Just check in at the TOTD thread.

Lighten up Francis!

BTW, I would think that any "psych exam" is going to be but a snapshot in time.

This guy was beyond depressed if he is unable to show empathy for 150 others.

Suicide seems to be a selfish act in general, but this person has gone on to destroy a thousand lives of friends a relatives of the victims.

Lighten up? Your OP is an insult to logic, and people with mental illness. I lost someone to it. Your solution would have been to give her a gun? Get it over sooner?

When you say something stupid, don't double down.

Time to change the subject!

I am thinking of non-revving ATL-CDG avec la famille in April. How does it work if I non-rev on Air France? My assumption is that it is a JV flight so we don't have to pay a zed fair rate or anything. Not sure. I hear they don't upgrade us and they are mean. I prefer, or course, to ride on our own flights, but just in case I want to be ready to use them if needed. Any experience from anyone with Air Frog? Thanks!:)

I don't think we can just book them. You will see the flights in travelnet, but it won't let you book (I think) and it would have to be a Zed/ID90/whaeveritscalledthisweek. At least those are electronic now and fairly easy to do.

Just a heads up. I took the family to Paris last March. On the way back, the flight had 20 seats open in business. They will oversell the coach seats by as many as open in business. So they ended up overselling coach by -20. When it came time to board, they upgraded 20 regular coach passengers and not a single non-rev got on the flight.

Yep. Bad business in my opinion. It devalues first class. Why pay for it when you can get it for free?

Your friend has hit on the antidote to micromanagement. I've never seen it that bad but I'm sure those guys are out there. A really nice benefit of our job is that if we can't stand our co-workers we only have to deal with them for at most* five days.

*I know 12 day trips exist but they don't have very many legs and you have a second FO with whom to commiserate.

Who freakin cares, right? Take all the Take-off and landings if you wish. As long as I have my currency, I dont care. It is so funny to see people/pilots get so wound up about landings. If I really want or am need of a landing, Ill ask.

Have a great weekend !
