How do you remember this cr*p?

I instructed in it for 2 years, yet remember nothing.

Probably a lot of the sick leave is used in the month prior to the recharge, 3/97....to often the 97% get punished for the 3%. Jails are another topic for another forum.

Whatever happened to the proposed LGA concourse move and E175 rumors?

Sure would be nice if we got the DAL-N Call in Honest policy before then ...

Well, it is still early Aug. Be patient. IMHO SWA's bid for Frontier was a way to unravel a lot of this.

Yep, we will see if they actually pull the trigger on it. Plan was to have the AE finalized by the fifth. Posting it shortly there after, FWIW.

Info is a week old for those keeping score.

There is a possibility of this. We will see if they pull the trigger on any of it. The only reason to do so, would be the pull down of another base, and it would be a cost savings measure to do this prior to SOC.

BTW you going to be in DTW tomorrow and Thursday? E-mail me if you are.

I have a mind like a steel sieve.... unfortunately it's the stuff I NEED to know that goes thru the holes... :(

That... and the reinstatement rights that Northside had... too bad the MEC apparently isn't interested.

The dreaded pin ball effect (that only happened in the sim). I can still reach back and pull the cb without looking for it.:D

ACL, check your PM...

Are the DTW 7ER trips going to be primarily to Asia, Europe & SA, or all the above. Any guesses.

What about a resolution?

How would you know if they are interested or not? :(

Sources stating that ER DTW may be on hold as well as a lot of other plans. Opportunities may be missed if we have to big of a training foot print. Might just be a few openings and 100 displacements.

Looking at first joint AE shortly after the new year bell tolls.

Or, for those of us who had T-28s as a primary trainer: "thumbs up from the plane captain, fire bottle manned, prop arc clear, ready to start, sir!" Or, if anything happened airborn, (such as the instructor pulling the power..."you have an engine failure, what are you going to do?!")....you had 90% of the problem solved if you could just remember: "set the mixture rich, and head toward a field" (although there might have been something about moving the prop lever full increase....or was it decrease!??? opening the engine cowl flaps, etc.)....that was a very sweatty time, primary training at Whiting Field in the venerable T-28B Trojan...circa late 70's early 80's...

That was a lot of airplane to handle if you jumped in one off the streets with no prior time....fourteen hundred and twenty-five horses chomping at the bits.... 16 dual instructed fam flights before the first solo...

I've got 1 hour logged in the T28A with only 800 ponies up front that was a sweet ride,I can only imagine 1425 !

Yeah, all those ponies with 48 inches of manifold air pressure would just as soon spin the airplane in the opposite direction of the prop, so on takeoff you had to stomp on enough rudder to 'break an airbus tail off' to keep it going straight.. The B model (land based) had the 10 foot diameter prop, while the C model with the same power had a tailhook and a chopped off prop for carrier clearance that reduced performance and increased vibrations, from what I heard..(never flew the C model)

Anyone for "Single Engine Off the Catapult?" (Except A7 guys) :cool:

-10 degrees nose up pitch not to exceed 14 units AOA
- Counter roll and yaw with rudder supplemented with lateral stick
- Positive rate - gear up
- Emergency Stores - Jettison (if req)

Couldn't tell you where I flew two weeks ago, but I still remember "Plaintiff one's" and "Plaintiff two's" birthdays and anniversaries. The trick is not to get them mixed up!!!:D

My apologies if my question regarding DTW caused a stir. Certainly did not mean anything by it.:o

Cheers, TC

How about ...

[quote=Scoop;656002]I think the company and the military guys who work for the company who might do some probing have to be extremely careful. This could possibly be breaking the law.

Detroit already is an ER base. They have a 757 international category and they are going to be trained on the 767. No need to open a new category.

T 34B, Saufley Field, 1958,,,Engine Out emergency (low alt.) Glide, Gear, Grass, Prop,Top,Talk. another one...how to enter that really, really confusing traffic pattern...Chop, Prop, 110, Drop (Translation)power to idle, Push the prop control all the way fwd, 110 kts gear down. Fifty One years later, I can`t remember what I had for breakfast.

I do not argue that. It was looked at and it is not worth the issues it causes at this time.

Hand Grips - Raise
Triggers - Squeeze

Never forget that one.

It's amazing what you remember and what you forget. On my last rotation, the CA forgot his 20th marriage anniversary. No, I'm not joking. His wife actually didn't seem to mind. God is he a lucky man. :)

Oh she minded. She was just waiting for him to get home to kick his six.

So obvious I overlooked it. Good point. They just need to move airplanes around, I suppose.

Are we still set to have the AE, I mean displacement in a week or so?

I am not a lawyer, but I seriously doubt verifying MIL LV is against the law. I received plenty of calls/inquiries over the years from various companys concerning MIL LVs. "Probing" was your word, not mine. USERRA is very powerful, as it should be, but nothing prohibits verification.

If anything goes against the intent of USERRA, it is the companies that try to make it uncomfortable for guys to put in for MIL LV. Lets just hope DAL does not become one of them.

Scoop

Plan is on or about Aug 10th.

Hey TC, I think we met at the gate in MCO the other day. We were coming in, you guys were going out. Nice to place a face with a name.

Buzz

Anybody recall the spin recovery for the T-37? All I remember (and its been a LONG time) is "rudders - neutral, stick abruptly full aft and hold,..."

Hey ACL, any intel on how big and where to?

Throttles – IDLE
Rudder and Ailerons – NEUTRAL
Stick – ABRUPTLY FULL AFT AND HOLD
Rudder – ABRUPTLY APPLY FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE SPIN DIRECTION OPPOSITE TURN NEEDLE AND HOLD
Stick – ABRUPTLY APPLY FULL FORWARD ONE TURN AFTER APPLYING RUDDER
Controls – NEUTRAL AFTER SPINNING STOPS, RECOVER FROM DIVE

Last used it in 1987

Hey military guys...please drive down memory lane in a different thread. :)

Hey, at least we're not arguing about the SLI...but you are right, we're losing focus. need more delta rumors to get us back on track.

Similiar to stalling an MD-88:

Autopilot & Autothrottles- ON
VNAV and NAV - ON
FMS - Go to the holding page, enter a hold, verify radial, inbound course, leg length, EFC time, Execute
USAToday - Go back to reading the purple section, discretely

Works best at high altitudes. :D

100 slots. Smaller than people had been told. Wanting to see where things go before they commit to a huge training footprint.

That is the way it was today.

LOL NICE ONE!!!:D

Yeah, fortunately the MD88's got hydraulics in one direction :rolleyes:
