Maybe if you lost some weight....

Veteran Delta pilots, help a new guy out here, please.

Any of you use the UFlyMike headset? Is it approved for use? Thanks in advance.

I wear one and like it. Just went to the site recently and the old ones are sold out. They have a new one coming out that is muscular and looks nice. It isn't available yet.

During initial 757 bounces, I ran the seat back, devastating the instructors new flight kit..Then and only then did I realize the power of the "chair."

I'm not fat, just big-boned.

Maybe Captain Kangaroo hates when the jumpseater refuses to turn sideways on the jumpseat. (just something to think about.) :D

Ahhhh, the hat thing.

I don't object to the hat, per se, but I'm blessed with a full head of hair.

Wearing the thing gives me rock solid, all-day, helmet head, even if I just got sheared.

I would trade the creeper overcoat for a leather jacket....any day and twice on Sunday.

Fine, but you can't wear your elastic top pants legs with the jacket.

I agree. See that's why it's called a uniform, so we all look......uniform. No different than a dress code at work.

Council 66 Pilots,

As you are aware, negotiations between ALPA and the Company are proceeding at a record pace. It appears a tentative agreement is quite possible in the very near future. Emphasis on possible. There are no guarantees when it comes to negotiations.

Recently, the company announced a large stock buyback program as part of its capital deployment strategy. This buyback shows the strength of Delta Air Lines and is, in no small part, a result of the sacrifices that this pilot group made years ago to help Delta get back on its feet and become the airline that it is today. It also reaffirms what we have said all along—the Company has ample resources to deliver the contract we expect and deserve.

We want to assure you the direction we are giving the negotiators and the MEC administration is to make sure we get it right and not sacrifice quality for expediency.

We will continue to fight on your behalf, with your direction as our guide.

Stay informed. Your continued input matters.

Fly safe,"

Yep, pretty amazing. Do you play?

Dave Grohl amazing drummer?:confused: Great frontman, average drummer. Teen Spirit intro is just quarter note flams. Great for the song but easy peasy to do.
