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

I wonder with the non-acquisition of slots, if the company will just make up for it with less frequency and bigger airplanes. I see a lot of the NYC ER trips are starting out of LGA now. Or, is that something they do every summer?

The ATL 767 used to do all of that flying, now the NYC 7ER is. Less hotel rooms, therefore a heck of a lot of money saved for the company.

I do not know as I do not watch that much TV, and almost everything I watch is either TIVOed or a financial network! :eek:

Man! I just say another one for SWA! Apparently, they do honor flights to take WWII vets to see their monument in D.C.

Outstanding.

Yes, they and AAI do that all of the time. We transport the troops all over the globe for the DOD!

Not sure if I like the fact that airlines are using their good deeds to the troops as personal goodwill and a selling point for their airline.

Yeah, till the 7th. Have CQ on 22/23rd........I've done the CD, just putting off going through the oral questions.

Worried about the "new" system and screwing up the procedures (V1 cut and single engine approaches) but not worried enough to actually study:D

You home?

I don't believe there is any quid worth relaxing Scope language.
