Also heard the FAA is leaning towards NOT certifying the new A330 pilot rest facility. Seems they don't like the idea of the Captain in the tail of the aircraft either...
Hope this one is true and they have to put a bunk room forward of Door 2.

In August, US Airways said it had agreed to transfer 125 operating slot pairs to Delta at LaGuardia. In exchange, Delta agreed to transfer 42 operating slot pairs to US Airways at Reagan National.
Slots, especially at peak times of day and in busy corridors like the Northeast, are valuable to airlines.

- ATLANTA (AP) -- US Airways' pilots union says it is concerned a deal with Delta Air Lines to swap takeoff and landing slots could lead to higher fares and a reduction in service to smaller communities.

They're worried about higher fees? God forbid you charge what the darn ticket is worth!
No wonder these morons are in such disaray!

If it were ever to even be considered they would have to pay protect all the pilots who bid that aircraft and were denied it out of seniority. I suspect those costs would far exceed the training costs.

If it happened it would be the first fNWA aircraft to have a pilot rest facility aft of door 2 in the last 25 years. Maybe a first in the history of fNWA, but I wasnt here before the 747/DC-10.
Waiting for the stupid orientation videos to download is giving me lots of time to post here between sections.

When was this? Was it certified but never used? It certainly must have been pre-911. Thanks,Denny
