Cool. Where to? :)

It was announced quite a while back that we would fly SLC to Narita with the A330. I believe the flights start in June however many routes are quietly having their start dates put back. Some as much as a year.

Roll Tide Roll!!!

(And before you start callin' Sabin a back stabin', lying, SOB, remember he is our back stabin', lying, SOB. And he beat Auburn!!)


Ain't it great? Life in the fast Lane :D At least he had the guts to punch that little punk in Gainesville in the mouth. (I wish he'd have waited another year or so... but hey... he's getting the Vol fans fired up, cause face it... we haven't had much to be excited about lately) And as far as Auburn... I went to the UT Auburn game this year... as bad as we were, they didn't cross their own 30 yard line in the entire second half.

University of Utah.. the only undefeated team in D1 football.... didn't they play Bama this year? :eek: Seriously though... I dread the third Saturday in October... again...

The thing I have is I have control of my schedule...Controlling my schedule and time off is the most important thing to me....

I didn't "bust my 6" and have mainline friends who work more days than I do....

Hey Joe,

Quit hijacking the "Latest and Greatest Delta" thread and degenerating it into a mainline/regional thread. Take it somewhere else! You're trespassing on our property here.

He can take it to his own tread. Bar created one just for him!

It snowed this past December. He had to commute IAH-DTW. His CAL 737 boarded, then waited at the gate 3 hours to get in line to deice only to find out that the airport RAN OUT of deicing fluid. They then had to park abeam a terminal which blocked the wind & wait 4.5 hours for the snow & ice to melt off! :eek::eek: The flight got in about 8 hours late @ 0530 the next morning.

Carl, we are all to blame for this. All of us know that those new pilots looking for their first airline job have no idea what a union is and what they are doing by accepting 15K a year. It falls on us to educate our future pilots. All medical students know that to be successful they need to be certified by the AMA, we can do that to. It will take a lot of work, but it will help with this issue.


DALPA doesn't know the first thing about unions and building a profession like the AMA. They are all about short term GREED.

I am not going argue that point on here. As many have said take it to another thread.

Jerry Isaacs, I see you don't like me questioning DALPA.

acl65pilot 03-01-2009 10:16 AM

No I am trying do what others wish, which is to keep this thread true to its title.
I am the first to admit that DALPA has work to do, but what you are accusing them about with the MEH deal, is just wrong.
