For the one millionth time, do we need to rehash the SLI? :mad:

Yes. Let's answer Life's & 1234's questions about the AE. :D

I heard they were going to add some time to the 88 out of NYC. (I know. That's old.) :rolleyes:

I would have to stay then. I could never imagine DAL without the DC-9's! :eek:

I think 80 and ftb are the controllers of the fleet and they would NEVER see the DC-9 go anywhere. Definitely, not before they could upgrade to the left seat. :D

I heard that if you were to change over to the 88 that they would be able to defer all the FMS's and autothrottles on the 88's.

Why? Well we know why.

And just imagine the possibilities of newK flying with FTB. Won't be hard to spot: A captain that looks like Chuck Norris+The most interesting man in the world that is wearing 5 stripes and women automatically take off their underwear as he walks by. What does FO FTB look like? Easy: a huge yellow bird holding a box of crayons.

I'm taking weekly therapy sessions on how to grow more hair on my chest so I might one day qualify for the 9. Sure it involves building entire towns with my bare hands while drinking straight whiskey instead of water as well as delivering babies by simply yelling "GET OUT," but I consider it worth it.

Rumors:

I had one pilot on the jumpseat who said he had inside info that CVG closes as a crew base.

Another jumpseater said 320 from DTW to CVG. CVG88/90 to the other existing bases.

Discuss.

Flightops management has stated at the base meetings that there will be no more equipment changing bases for awhile. How long awhile is.........well that's the question. I've heard they will re-evaluate next summer.

On a different, positive note, how much profit is Delta going to announce tomorrow? I'm guessing $500 million!!

As someone who's never seen a profit at DAL, if we do announce one tomorrow, is there "profit sharing?"

My guess .... $520 million for 2Q
