**The DAL head shed may have some ego and doesn't want to let the new UCAL be larger than DAL! (as long as growth is financially safe and profitable) Only time will tell.....In three weeks its going to be fall slowdown time and people will be rumoring that the 90's are going to "replace" the oldest 88's and -50's.....Rumors seem to run on a hype for a week or two and then boredom for a couple weeks, rinse and repeat. |
Shiz, it seems the slow down has started to effect the widebodies already. Few GS's and more WS's.
As many get used to the ebb and flow of DAL the seasonal hype or rumor will quell. IMO DAL is not committing to anything because the economy is so uncertain. Jobless claims jumped again today. It cannot make up its mind. DAL not doing anything on a grand scale is a good thing, but that does not mean we should not explore golden opportunities. The MD-90's are just that. |

Anybody want to come up with some tiers? NB and WB's by range then seating? And why do you get paid more for cruising? Huh? Huh? Some of us 5-leggers per day would like to know!? :D |

The key is that many of the "N1" limits are archaic and no longer applicable. GI Joe says that knowing is half the battle.
I'm just going with what they told me in the schoolhouse and during OE. I don't get the chance to taxi the aircraft very often, but when I do I comply with the limits they asked me to observe. TC |

Hey Clamp,

TC TC, I think if you're getting more comfortable in the fleet it can't hurt for you to encourage SE Taxi. I'll often ask if 1 is OK, & if they seem hesitant I negotiate. I say how bout just 1 spinning until we get around the corner then if you want both I'll get the other one going. Many of my DTW CAs are becoming more receptive to this. I'm getting a lot more SE Taxi's lately, & I intend to push more plus spread Reddog 25's recently released SE Taxi data. :) |
