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

If I may, I'd like to point out 3 things:

A) Timbo had the same problem.

So there. End of story. Period. Timbo. If Timbo can't do it, AF1 can't either.

But also I should point out:

B) If I remember right it was very hazy, and

C) Although the likelihood of small arms fire in Cleveland that requires evasive maneuvers is high, we all make mista... are sometimes in positions where physics and our intentions... coupled with ATCs mistakes... cannot be reconciled in a smooth fashion.

Isn't it possible that they may have just wanted to take in the CLE skyline?

A couple weeks ago I had a contract 2015 bag tag in my vfile. I put it on my bag right away in support of the process and in hopes of something great to vote on in the future, near or far. I have yet to see another pilot with this bag tag and was wondering if it was because of distribution issues or are people not wanting to show support?
When I see the TA for my own eyes I will decide which way to vote and may consider removing the bag tag.

I agree with seeing any TA with my own eyes. Guys are getting way too spooled on the rumor mill.

Everyone should also be wearing their ALPA pins and lanyards. Individually it's a small thing, but collectively it sends a message.

The rumors all originate from a select few with a agenda. I love how even rumors on sections not even discussed can spread like wildfire. When and if a TA is presented read it carefully. Make every effort to understand it. Then cast your vote based on if it meets your needs and expectations. Then give your fellow pilots the courtesy to make the same choice even if they disagree with you.

We're copying them?

Why on Earth would we be painting "Emirates" on the bottom of our jets?

Oh wait!…might prevent a Grinch launch.

Oh Brilliant! And so much more cost efficient that a laser/flare/chaff defensive system.
