Somebody calculated it and its worth posting, what would it cost to build the Death Star? It is 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters and will require 1.71 quadrillion cubic meters of steel, about 134 quadrillion tonnes, all of it shipped into space. Then add air, shipped into space, and so on, and you get a total of:
$15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226.94.
Yes, that’s a whooping 1.4 trillion times the current US Debt.
Now, how much does Delta have in debt?!? That ain't nothing.

Quick question. I held a line next month for the first time since getting on at DAL. Can I pick up a trip from the swap board in a different base? Assuming the equipment is the same, of course. I'm an NYC -88 guy and I want to pick up an ATL trip.

Congrats on holding a line, look up the order for trip assignment under "scheduling" in the PWA.

PS I enter 9s, unless the capt is a bonehead, then I enter 6s
Your right, no DBMS access for the fNWA FAs sense. I'm sure that won't change till the union thingie is worked out.

Well, I just answered my own question by trying to pick it up. No go. You get an error message saying "MUST BE IN SAME CATEGORY." This makes no sense since it's obviously the same category. I can understand trying to pick up something in a -90 qualified base, but it should allow us to pick up in ATL. This is a feature that should be added since there's nothing restricting it in the PWA and there's zero cost to the company. Oh well...

Per the PWA Section 2 this is the definition of category: 31. “Category” means the combination of a pilot’s position and base
So technically you are not in same category if you have a different base. It would be nice to be able to do what you want though.
