Very nice self-promotion, Nu!:D You've done a nice job culling some of the more pertinent items.

There are a whole bunch of posts in that thread that are completely wrong. I think I'd wait for a more complete analysis of the nPrm.

Nothing "self" about it. I think I may have bought this account on ebay because the previous "owner" was too cool for school, so I don't know what you're talking about. Sort of like owning a suit from a celebrity.

I do agree, however, about the "proposed" part. There are some aspects that will have to be monitored VERY carefully... such as the apparent requirement to extend the duty/reduce rest be agreed to by both the crewmember and the company. One word could easily change both those in a bad, bad way.

If you actually read the entire NPRM, you will see the FAA has put both sides on notice. They've woven this thing with concessions to both sides, and if you read their reasoning, if you start changing things, the whole thing will unravel.

I COULD see some tweaks...any of which would make this thing much better or much worse. Make the 9 hours AT the rest facility, instead of "arriving at", and I'd prefer 10 hours rest versus 9. Tighten up the duty time/legs ratio so that the duty day ratchets down starting at fewer legs. Go to 9 hours flight time, versus 10...

OTOH, it could get much worse very easily. It could very easily be tweaked to go in the other direction and be worse than what we have now.

Trying to find it which section is it in? Thanx

Its in hangar talk

In the meantime let me get you and everyone else a little riled up so we're all ready to write letters during this comment period.

ATL-NRT with three pilots as long as report time is before 5PM.

So I just looked up that flight on Delta.com to see when it leaves and how long the flight is.

While I was at it I checked the fares....$12,000 roundtrip in first class four weeks out!

Look up LAX-SYD and back on United in first class sometime.

They are great guys. But the only chip that's showing is yours dude. That constant NWA bashing from you is tiresome. Sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it's not. But it's frequently there. A very small number of fDAL guys are angry at the influx of pilots who are not "real Delta." Your posts show me that you're one of them. I think the more of us that you actually meet, the more you'll think differently and maybe that will cause you to moderate your posts.

During the SLI, that's all you did. You're better now, but it's still there. You and slowplay are the only ones that are still doing this. Come to think of it...I wonder if anyone has ever seen sailingfun and slowplay in the same room. Hmmm...:confused:

Of course it's not. I don't recall anyone saying it is. That's not the point. The point is your constant NWA bashing. Not life at Delta, just you...and your mini-me of course.

That's the basis of my opinion...but it's just my opinion.

Carl,

What happened with the 744 at the gate in JFK the other day? :confused:
