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

Would if you had a widebody fleet with only two aircraft types? 787-900/1000 replacing the 767er, 767-400,777 and A350. A330’s also replacing 7er’s and growth. Imagine the cost savings in DH pay alone!
Maybe we are in for a surprise soon!

I think this makes a lot of sense and could be driving the upcoming fleet strategy.

I've jumpseated there. You must list at least 75 minutes in advance at the ticket counter, so you can pay necessary international fees. At least that was the case a few years ago when I did it.

forgot to bid

He probably said something like “we continuously evaluate all options, including the 787.”

But what’s the source?

Serious question, flew RJs under DC for NW/DL and now flying here at Mother D, what’s up with people saying Deltas on the radio? I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but is it a N vs S thing? I never heard it until the last few years...just curious where it originated and for what purpose.

my understanding is it's mostly done by the PMDL guys/gals...someone that was here then can either confirm or correct that.

It’s some weird legacy thing. American’s, United’s, Delta’s, etc. I’ve never understood it

I only saw it on the 75/76... and it was always old dudes that probably today make PAs detailing their carrier traps.

It really does sound dumb on the radio. Like really, really, abhorrently dumb. Almost as ridiculous as when that Richard captain told everyone on guard how many aircraft carrier landings he had, and that if there’s anything he could do to make his flight more pleasurable, “do not hesitate to tell the girls in the back” ugh. Just, no. Noooooooo.
