ummmmm ok.. and what makes JB so special in this arena? Are they doing flight test on revenue flights? Or are those approaches published? I have not found those runway approaches in any publication, so what is the friggin deal here? |

How much do you think I'll make as the new head coach of LSU football? :)
.....Oh, wait. How much do you think it will cost to buy Ts a heart surgeon? ....Oh, wait. Wow. I don't want to be a head coach. I'll stick to being a pilot. Geeze. What a game. Back to my regularly scheduled Jack and Coke. |

Back to my regularly scheduled Jack and Coke. Florida lost. (bad) Urban Myer looked like he was totally out-coached. USC lost. UT looks like they might be better than USC. Now that would be a bowl game.... :rolleyes: |

Florida lost.. and will lose again this season. at least 2.. maybe 3 more times. They are very mortal and very beatable without Tebow. Apparently nobody told their OC that he was gone. bwaaa haa haaaa The sad thing is that they will go to the Sugar Bowl unless somebody sneaks up on Bama and takes them out of the NC picture. yeah right. So a 4 loss team goes to the Sugar Bowl. :rolleyes: Saban will own Meyer in years to come.. so will Dooley. Mark it down. (UT has 18 TRUE freshmen on the 2 deep and played LSU to the 1 yard line before we forgot how to count) Lane Kiffin isn't half the coach (not to mention the human being) that Derick Dooley is. JMHO. Good ole Rocky Top! wooooooo Edit: oh, and while I am thinking about it, I don't blame Lane K for going to USC. As I think I have said before, if I were coaching at Notre Dame and UT called with the offer, there would be a fire trail out of South Bend. It was just that UT fans all bought in to him as bringing our program back and we felt betrayed. I'm over it, but I still hope he fails miserably. |

We have the approaches published in our Jeppesen kits, marked as "JetBlue" above the designator (22-0-1), AND they are in our opspecs. That's what makes us "special". It's not that uncommon for airlines to develop and be approved for their own approaches in certain places (Alaska, for example, pioneered all sorts of RNP up in their neck of the woods).

Ts,
I have liked Florida since E. Smith and Neil Anderson. The only time I've ever rooted against them was when they Played Nebraska for the national championship in 1995,6. I have picked as best I could. :) |

Not much to discuss there...
When they show what their plan is, I'll be willing to listen. Isn't there already a thread for this? It does show they're anything but transparent. Who's running, exactly? Some people think it was justifiable to roll out a website without any clear identity on the backers (I don't buy it). This continues the effort, all focused on tapping into our legitimate anger, for the purpose of satisfying someone's appetite for power. Again. Strike 2. Move this to the other thread: this thread is not just about the latest, but the greatest. DPA doesn't qualify. |

T- relax, we've got nearly all custom plates for Tegucigalpa and a pile of custom charts elsewhere. (edit: no other airlines have these. Look it up on the Jeppviewer. Notice how the waypoints are names of standards guys at DL.) Also, look at your 29-0-1 and 2 charts for JFK. Custom Delta plates for RNAV visuals to 13L and R. A lot of that RNAV RNP stuff can be done mostly (if not all) in the sims if it doesn't involve crazy terrain... TGU was done before we inaugurated service of course. By the way, the movie "Role Models" is hilarious. |
