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

Do you guys remember the Sahara? That was a low point in Delta hotel experiences...until somebody mugged a female pilot in the elevator, and a partying group of thugs threw empty glass bottles of beer onto a crew getting into a crew van, and Las Vegas finally decided to bulldoze the place over for a parking lot.

I'm guessing ACL can hook us up for the Wynn. Who wouldn't welcome the APC Delta thread of miscreants and ner' do wells?

OK, if ACL can't bring it home...how 'bout we enlist Ferd? I KNOW he knows the landscape.

Ferd?

I.

As a matter of fact - I am not even sure that they exist!. Just had brews with a Deadheading fNW crew, great dudes. One thing we can hopefully agree on - any discussion is better over beer!!!

Does the Wynn have Steak and Shrimp for $9.95?

I think not.

When I was a corporate pilot, actually right before I came to Delta, I did a trip out to Las Wages. One of many many trips. Anyways, at 8am we were on the way to the airplane and there was a dead body in the street I think either by the Bellagio or NYNY. At 8am.

Well, flew all day today & it looks like I've missed nothing. I'll come back when the bickering stops. :(

Really - This bickering is getting old. We need a "common" enemy to unite us. I recommend management - Oh wait, thats what we are arguing about.:confused:

I think the JFK facilities and the interminable taxi delays there might have a lot to do with that. Makes the old DTW "A" concourse look modern. The lack of aircon added to the general stench of sweaty bodies arriving from all corners of the globe adds a nice touch.

What happened to the announcement of new faculties?

I've jumpseated probably 10 DAL-N flights over the past couple months and only one crew has used single engine taxi. I'm seeing more APU's shutdown at the gate, though, since that APU memo came out so that's good.

I'm trying man. :( It's getting better. Yesterday I got a SE Taxi to the runway on 2 of 3 legs. The 1st one we were just too heavy, & in SLC. Wasn't going to work. Also, got a SE taxi in on 2 of the 3 legs. Only reason we couldn't on the 3rd one was because it was not an authorized SE taxi gate. I don't know where you commute from but MSP, DTW, & LGA have quite a few gates which prohibit SE taxi.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:40 PM.
