I now have been retired longer than I worked,and have managed to drive anybody in close prox nuts. Lots to be said for it......Contrary to popular opinion, there is life after Delta.

Congrats!!! Can you give us a brief rundown? When were you hired, airplanes flown and how you got started? Also when did you retire and if you don't mind how old are you?

Scheduling question
 

Wondering how long our day has to be for the company to give us a hotel room when we DH? For example if one were to fly from LHR to DTW, then DH back to Mecca? Wondering why some trips are scheduled with the hotel on the rotation and some are not? What is the duty time that requires the room?

Thanks

Tell us about yourself

I think if you have a doctor of whom you refer to as "MY SURGEON" perhaps it is time to retire before it's one surgery too many.:p

That's fair but I am not near as interesting as Badflaps.

I got hired in 2010. I have flown the Dc9 the Maddog and I am currently on the ER. Before Delta I flew started out in KC135s. I am 35 YO and hope someday to be able to claim I have been retired longer than I worked.

All that stuff is under "badflaps". I retired in '89 after being denied a 1011 bid in LAX. (WAL fencing agreement.) Started as a '049 engineer at Modern Air Transport in Trenton in '63. I have perm. oil stains on my noggin........Just the sight of the letters "EWR" terrify me.

That ident should rightly terrify anyone.

badflaps is legit.
