They hired 10 FA's from over 4000 applicants. Delta no longer gives them a ticket to get to the interview. They must arrange and pay for their own travel. Would you say that is a job that no one wants? By the way, my wife is also a pilot, but she isn't condescending and narrow minded like many of the posts I've seen here. I'm just saying................


I don't know about that, my money is on Stephen Hawking - although he is pretty much a lurker these days. :)

He became interested when we started talking about "Black Holes." When it was further explained that the Black holes we were discussing were in managements pockets, he lost interest.

From the Copy and Paste Department at Boeing:


[MD88/90 FCTM]"trim the rudder in the direction corresponding to the down (low) side of the control wheel until the control wheel indicates level.
The indices on top of the control wheel should be used to ensure a level wheel condition."

Especially coming down the 405....

I still love the time the (new) scheduler told me I have a trip, but didn't tell me it was a SNA rotation, that LAX sign-in just wouldn't work ;-) SW and Pattie took care of me...

I can't see how any reserve can cover LA without a car...

Patti is great. The 405, however, is miserable. I take the 5 back and forth when I fly out of SNA. A little farther but a little faster avoiding the Sepulveda pass mess. I agree on the reserve thing. It would be impossible without a car.

True, and a good lesson for everyone (senior to me). Whatever you do, don't commute to LA.

Speaking of possible relocation. Anybody got "the latest and greatest" on the expected AE in May?

Yes, it was mentioned earlier. But it wasn't certain if the Codeshare was ending also. It has been confirmed now that the Codeshare will also be terminated, and I think it's good news. We don't need our customers going through that goatrope. Unfortunately it doesn't happen until June 7.
