Most interesting is that the actual slot times they're talking about giving out aren't exactly PRIME slots.

That's OK though, I am sure the reciprocity the US government extends to the Japs allows them to fly into pretty much any airport in the USa whenever they want....

Outsourcing is good for America... Vol II.

Hey, download those Vol 1 and 2 manuals for the 320 off of Deltanet before they're revised from fancy fun educaitonal color into black and white! :D

The manuals are supposed to stay in color on the net. The cds are excellent!

That is correct except for the slot controlled airports. Of note they Japanese carriers cannot takeoff prior to midnight local out of Haneda. It levels the paying field with the operational constraints placed upon the four slots granted to the US carriers.

What I find interesting is that the state that once they finally got around to the Haneda slots they state that most were given to European and Canadian carriers and therefore that limited the US to four. I say b.s.!

I just entered the 21st century and got an iphone. Just wondering if any of you tech savvy folks can give me a rundown on iphone apps I must/cannot not live without.
thanks

BTW, DAL employees get a 21% discount on service and equipment if purchased online. It made my whole plan (2 phones) come up to I think $119/month plus tax. 1400 shared minutes, unlimited data, 200 texts.

Sweet. Journey is a must for icrew. It's not free but a must. After you download it put 3 fingers on the screen at the same time and spread them out and that'll give you a menu where you can select firefox or explored and you're good to go.

Also, pandora is good. You can download several radio station players. Bowling. Aeroweather and weather channel a must. And any free game.

And get ready to have your posts spelling auto corrected so that explorer automatically becomes explored. But you will need the auto spell function so that you don't look like a fool on a half dozen other words.

Not sure about Apps, but I like the way the IPhone feels in my pocket when people call me and the phone is on vibrate. It takes the sting out of getting activated on short call. :)
