sooo...I feel awful due to the yellow fever shot. Has anyone had to call in sick due to YF, and if so, how did you verify? send in proof of shot? No GD way I'm paying the doctor to verify this.

I got the YF shot back when Delta required it, and had a headache and low grade fever the next day..Felt like the flu but not as bad...Then I woke up the 2nd day after the shot and was back to normal. No symptoms.. I would call the chief pilots office and tell them you feel sick after receiving the shot. I think they will verify your sick time.

After my YF shot I could see through some vinyl siding and speak fluent Urdu.

Where other's react with pain, I gain low-grade superpowers.

Ummmm ever heard of Seattle? 330s will do just fine.

The 330 is fine from SEA and the new 330's have a longer range. The 350's start arriving in 2 years and come fast and furious. Looks like 1 a month almost. They can do the Eastern US to China however on a few city pairs the 787 would have been a better choice. Those will be run with 777's.

That. Plus, it'll be really nice when we get rid of the intrusive suction cup contraptions that we have right now to hold the Surface and get those simple little compact ones that just sit right on the window ledge chart holder.

This is from Nov 2014: "Delta will take delivery of the A350-900 starting in the second quarter of 2017 through 2020."

That's time frame of ~45 months. Just curious, if we are getting 25 airplanes where do you see "1 a month almost".

If you know something different - please feel free to share!

All of this is subject to change however the Rumor is we could move up the first deliveries. I find this unlikely because they are already behind on spooling up the training program. First 4 instructors to Toulouse next month. Sim coming to ATL next year, second sim coming to MIA at the Airbus center. Training for line guys to start late summer 16.
