New CAN divide by zero.

New once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it.
New, you now represent the DC-9 Captains:

You real men on the 9 shouldn't even need a release. Just sit down, pimp slap the FO a couple times, squeeze the A-line's jugs, and then launch in the general direction of where you're going because the s-o-b will get there...always. Why will it get there? Because you have a hairy chest that would make hasslehoff jealous and brass balls clanging so loud that when you die they'll replace the bell in Big Ben with them.

Super, you posted this yesterday morning. Sorry, I only read it tonight. Don't think so small - we should have no less than the company contribution being reset to the 415C limit. Nothing less. Scambo |

Ya, the initial climb off the runway during takeoff is equally impressive. Lets skip the fleet of 40-60 MD-90's that we're supposed to be acquiring and just get the same amount of 777's.:D

I've got no problem with that, if money grew on trees, and Santa Claus could deliver. In the real world, where trade-offs are made, I'll take a bit more DC but I want higher payrates first. |

I would have to think that Delta could ask for that to be changed. I doubt they are going to retrain even more pilots to go back to the NWA system. They will change the code and be done with it. You can probably do it on your Iphone.
Maybe they are keeping the worldflight contract to leverage AWABS/WDR to improve their product? Don't think for a second that the only ones who will be trained on something new will be fNW if there are significant cost savings and revenue enhancement involved. :eek: |

Of course, I could be over simplifying YMMV. |

Heard more specifically that the extra fuel savings would account for a lot of international belly freight they are leaving behind right now. Also heard the flight planning software is planning the 330 at .79 - normal is .82. Supposedly the code is written around the 767 which cruises at .79 and does not allow for higher speeds??
DELTA - Don't Ever Let Technology Advance :p Is the 744 going out at .79 as well?:rolleyes: Pilots give DT a bunch of crap all the time, but I remind you to compare how the IT integration has gone compared to our peers. No USAirways merger meltdown. JetBlue had trouble changing to Sabre. How about a few props for the folks that are actually making that portion of the business work, so we can kevetch about dual releases and single engine taxi...;) |

$49,000 (in 2010) per year, every year? Let's do some basic math. Assume that increases with the rate of inflation (at 3%) and you work a 30 year career and earn 8% on your money. That grows to $7.5m which then throws off an annual $543k for 30 years past retirement (invested at 6% in retirement). Discounting that to today's $$ yields $224k. So, you're saying you want more in retirement than a 777A Captain makes working today?

Any confirm or deny on fuel savings and the retaining or resurrecting Jepps/Worldflight? |
