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

Wish we had Norm Mineta back. He has one son at Delta and another at Skywest. Lahood and his cronies need to meet NewK in a cold dark alley. NewK eats corrupt politicians for breakfast. I'd send Carl but he might break a hip.

Taking on corrupt politicians in the airline industry? Hmm, seems like a perfect lead in for:

Take your average passenger and ask him to ID any of the other jets and I'd bet that most of them wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 76/77/330, at least not a first glance. As good as they are, they just don't have a lot of visual appeal. Don't even get me started on the 380!

The 747 is still relevant. Boeing is testing the 747-800 and Asian heavy hitters like Cathay rely heavily upon that airframe (and the 777-300). Furthermore, when they are devalued to some point it is my understanding the BCF makes a great freight machine. The 747-200 was long in the tooth, but maybe the -400 will someday allow the 747 to re-enter the airline cargo world.

The 744 is heavily used in the cargo world. Ask UPS, Atlas, Word, Polar, Air France, Cathay Pacific, and others.

I say this bid is a total wildcard for the bottom 300 or so. I fear the seniority and displacements in SLC will leave a dust cloud until the next batch of retirements.

Well it looks to me like MSP M88 should ramp up & NYC will wind down....and who knows how SLC 767 converting to 7ER will change things. So I have no freaking clue what to do. :confused:

I'd say the troll is LaHood and friends. :D

You now officially gallop in on a 9, not fly.

You ever taxi on taxiway Whiskey up here in Detroit? Or, land on 21L before they fixed it? We gallop all the time up here. :)

Forecasted staffing in all of the M88B bases went down compared to last bid. This month in CVG, we have 83 bodies for an estimated 45 lines! Should be a fairly slow month on reserve...:) Looks like the backfill in NYC and CVG will be the lowest in the 88 system. When will MSP get up and going? I'm northbound in December so I hope soon!

The SLC 7ER positions were equal to the SLC 767 displacements, also.

Could some of the experts out there classify this as a xs,s,m,l,xl,xxl in terms of AEs and the size of this based on 12000 pilots. It is positive and good but seems a little on the small side. I could be totally wrong here as I do not have a good basis for judging the size of this AE.:confused:
