Did you say don't START the APU till it's 105 in the back? Man, on the DC-9, we don't SHUT OFF the APU till it cools down TO 105....

Thanks Dalad. Actually, I don't believe my book about the Clintons was based on opinion but the facts I observed in my time working for them. As for them making me money? No. I wrote the book, not Bill, so I don't really aspire to the notion that they made me money. I told a story of my experiences with them...no more, no less.

Finally, my writing success has not been limited to my book about my time in the White House. I've written 3 since then and none about the Clintons. Another best seller and one due out in 3 weeks. With all due respect, to paint me as somebody who has relied on a "tabloid" about our former president falls far short of the mark.

Your such an over-achiever!!! I can barely spell my name sometimes!!!! I can't imagine being literate enough to write a book. Just give me beer and I'll read one.

Oh yeah...Delta....hmmmmm.......I'm trying to think.........OK, got it. Did anyone actually read the last couple pages of the roar of 44??? Lots of facts, rumor, ect.... What was fact and what was rumor? Did Bombardier really offer to cancel 50 seat leases so we'd buy the C series??

Here are a few quotes worth repeating, for those who might not read all the info the company puts out....

From the weekly Flight Ops Trim Tab:
"Keep in mind that passenger comfort is a top priority for our company, so if preconditioned air units are unable to keep up with the heat, run the APU to keep the cabin temperature manageable and let the APU team know via FCR."

From Steve Dickson's weekly Flight Ops Code-a-Phone:
"Keep in mind that passenger comfort is a top priority for our company, so if preconditioned air units are unable to keep up with the heat, run the APU to keep the cabin temperature manageable and let the APU team know via FCR."

And, finally, from me:
"Keep in mind that passenger comfort is a top priority for our company, so if preconditioned air units are unable to keep up with the heat, RUN THE APU!"

Anyone figured out where this falls on my personal list of pet peeves yet?;)

I recall seeing an interesting photo in a book based on the collection of various pilot wings over the years. Delta pilot uniforms had the exact 'US AIR MAIL' wings for a brief period. Apparently, back in the day all US Mail contract Air lines/Airways sported this original style wing.

True that............and why these were the oldest continually worn wings in the industry, up until just a short while ago::cool:

Flt Attendant Hiring
 
Alright folks;

There are rumors of F/A hiring - I don't expect it until the finish the union vote. My secretary has moved on, following her boyfriend/fiance' to San Antonio - to manage a retail clothing store. Boo Hoo.

Anyway, she still wants to be a new hire flt att at the world's largest airline. She is the right kind of person with the right disposition and whenever the F/As figure out their representational issues and we hire I hope to have her in the first pack of interviewees.

If any of you folks have good intel on the F/A hiring, please keep me posted.

Thanks Scambo
