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

I’ve tried to submit a bid too early before and got a message that the bid window was closed (in my case not opened yet). If it took your bus and didn’t say the bid window was closed I’d guess you’re ok...good luck!

Conversely, I once submitted a bid 10 minutes before the window opened. Got a confirmation that the bid was accepted and when the schedules came out, it used my standing bid. THAT was a big surprise. Completely my fault, but don't assume anything.

Trump made a good decision today and here is why.... airlines have already come out and said that they were not informed properly by Boeing of this new mcas system or at least how it worked. That alone is criminal.
Now that there is two crashes and the rest of the world is tapping the breaks on the max, it needs to be properly fixed and delayed as long as it needs to be to be returned to flying safely without question.

Because we have exactly 0 Max's on order. We chose the 321 NEO over the max. More then likely our competitors will be paying us to fly their pax that they can't now.

Probably not. The talking heads like to make things into bigger crises than they really are. Sure, it’s probably a huge deal for Boeing, but for the US carriers operating the MAX, this grounding is not going to break them.

From FlightGlobal.com:

Quote:

The [US] airlines' relative fleet exposure to the Max is small. The aircraft represent just 2.5% of the mainline fleet at American, 4.5% at Southwest and 1.8% at United

Secret Self-Service

WTF is the fixit for getting into Self Service on a MAC? Getting the ‘503 Service not available’ message. Tried clearing history and cookies.

I cleared all and then tried Chrome and all I could get was a plain blue screen. It was, to quote Chris Farley......awesome. 🤔

I’ve done the same clear history technique and get the same plain blue screen. I hit refresh and now I see some tiles but it’s just white boxes with text. No coloring and some tiles aren’t labeled.

Hey everybody, I'm a 320B considering 7ERB on the MOAB. Has anybody who has been on the 320 or 330 a while gone back to a "real" airplane and felt like they were behind the curve? (this is not intended as a slam on the airbus, I love the plane, just not the trips) Or is it just like riding a bike? I've heard people going to the bus have found it challenging to adjust, but how about people leaving it? Most everyone I have flown with who flew the 757 consider it their favorite airplane so I figure it must be pretty great.

Thanks for any thoughts.
