Anyone know when the "new" -90's will be online? Trying to figure out when the MSPM88 base will be up and running full capacity. I know they have a lot of unfilled spots, but curious if we are going to be overstaffed up there once the new guys are here, waiting on the airplanes so that the total block hours can increase.

Any rumors...?

Can't wait to get off reserve...

Since you guys are so hot to trot on technique and captain's perrogative AND since you weren't in the cockpit...why don't you start practicing what you preach?

Another thing is that 95% of both fNW and fDAL Pilots do no even visit these board so any differences of opinion amongst the pilot groups are probably exaggerated on APC.

What Scoop said...........was trying to say something along those lines. Good thing some guys on here can write

We have also known what the guy in the left seat was going to do: its a team effort. The pilot flying the leg inputs all of the flying stuff into the boxes. The other guy, the PM, would do the walk-around and the preflight. Whoever flies that leg briefs the leg, the departure, the taxi, the threats, etc. Works great, lasts a long time. Delta has always emphasized a healthy CRM cockpit without the caste system that interferes with safe flight. Maybe because we have a lot of guys, like me, with a lot of experience in aviation but a junior seniority number. Its a cultural thing: but I damn sure guarantee you that it does not invite some kid in the right seat watching his CA fly a stupid approach or doing anything that might get the both of them violated. I understand the fNWA approach. As a pilot of 27 years, I kind of like the Delta approach.

Buzz, I agree with you. You are young at 27!

OK fine... it's YOUR payraise going out the back of that second engine.. I got no problem with that.
But I have been in several of them.. and watched 'em fire both up only to taxi for 15 minutes... but if that's OK with YOU, it's OK with me.

T,
I gave FTB some feedback on the worldflight stuff he sent ya. It looks a little old and the formatting is compressed since it was shrunk for the FOM. Also, the international example is for a DC-10 and has way more driftdown info than a 75/76 would have. But overall, not bad but I'll dig and see what I can find.

I know there are a lot of lurkers on this thread here as well as the regular posters. So I apologize for the thread drift, but I figured this would get maximum exposure.

I wanted to call everyone's attention to a recent posting on the deltanet main page regarding a DCCU account set up for the son of a fellow Delta employee who lost his life while at work. Let's really show this kid what it means to be a part of the Delta Family!
