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

Seems to me that our intelligence services (including Saudi intelligence) did a great job intercepting these packages and foiling the plot. Do you think that ten years ago we would have had the same outcome?

Excellent point Herk

They still have a ways to go, but at least we are rebuilding relationships with countries we have been blowing off since the Carter administration and paddling in the same direction amongst the various alphabet soup agencies within the US.

Not sure how that would mean anything or help anyone on reserve.

I have not looked at this but maybe those are the times they will assign SC's.
