Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
#421
The last I heard about the 90's was we are in the process of 'inking" a deal for 20. Comapny wants to buy any other available 90's because they are realatively inexpensive. I've heard the number $8 mil floated around. This could bridge the gap to the next generation aircraft to replace the 737. I've flown the MD90 and it's a decent aircraft. If our management team follows through with the purchase of the MD90's, I personally view this as a financially conservative move and shows me that our management is thinking out of the box and not just throwing money at our growth straight out of bankrupcy.
Well, that's my 2 cents, and mostly speculation at this point..... Nothing is in concrete, but I expect we'll hear much more when the new CEO is annouced.

This is good advice. An older wiser retired L1011 driver nailed me trying to give the old rehearsed answer during my interview. Needless to say I could tell they wanted to hire me because he let me shift gears to a less BS answer without trouble.
Buckingbar...
I'm a blabber mouth and can talk to anyone (read: BS), so that coupled with the Air Inc interview prep, I think I'll be ready (though a little stressed to do well and not tell about the time I was in an Arab prison...).
Gretsky,
Sounds like you've prepared yourself well. Be careful with the "canned" type of answers you may have learned through the interview prep. They have a way of seeing through the B.S. My advice is just be yourself, pause and think, and don't be afraid to ask to come back to something later if you don't have the answer. The interview is laid back and very professional. They're looking for personality, not B.S. IMHO. Good luck!

We were told in class that they couldn't fit all of the 90's they want in SLC. Some people are saying they will train everyone on the 90 and integrate them into the fleet (too expensive in my opinion and probably won't happen). Whitehurst said they would like to see some in LAX. Having MD-90 bases in SLC and LAX would be great.

Anyone need an ATL crash pad?
Hey All,
I have been wicked busy with LOE stuff. Took my sim check yesterday. I have a 3 day observation trip this weekend. My first Maddog IOE trip is the 27th thru the 30th.
Congrats to everyone who has been hired. Welcome aboard!
Congrats and Good Luck to everyone who has interviews coming up!
There are 2 beds opening up in my crash pad if anyone needs one in ATL. The pad is behind the Crown Plaza off Virginia. If you are a commuter there is no need for a car with the Crown Plaza Shuttle bus. Decent place to study if you are starting training. PM me if you are interested.
