Here is what you need to know about the 88. Pilots are like snakes, just like your FA says. In fact, they're poisionous snakes, just like your wife says. Anyways, if you come to the 88 you must know it is like a black snake (left side) and if you think you can get buy on your expert flying skills then you are like this rattlesnake (right side).

You have been warned... and/or threatened.

FTB,

I think that you or 80kts needs to summon Carl for this discussion. Any way you guys can post so that the "Caped Crusader" might chime in on the latest & greatest Delta thread? :D

Really what everyone needs to realize, and yes I was one of those 189 guys hired in the last round of NWA hiring (07-08) is that we've just gone through the worst recession in American history, since the Great Depression. WITHOUT FURLOUGH. As posted on Delta Net news,Ed updates investors on profitable 2Q

and we're going to hire 300 new pilots this year with the same amount if not more next year!!

In the words of a military veteran and scholar, (speaking of BUZZPAT, of course) WE JUST NEED TO GET OVER IT!! The past is in the past, we learn from it, move forward, and don't make the same mistakes again if some feel as though they were mistakes. If anyone thinks our merger was a mistake, merrily hop on over to the "US Airways appeal" thread for a moment.

As always, fly safe,

GJ

Guys of the northern persuasion:

I rode in the back of a 320 from JFK to ATL today.

We taxiied out in JFK on 2 engines. In JFK! Had a nice lengthy taxi in...also the entire time on 2 engines.

The APU was left on and running at the gate with power plugged in and air hooked up....when I rode by it on the employee bus 20 minutes later it was still running as well.

We can do better than that... that is just wasteful and lazy.
