320 LM NWA

88/90/9 BT DAL

777 MD DAL


Score -
NWA = 3
DAL = 4*
* One DAL guy covers two fleets according to the current flight ops charted dated 05AU
G2010

Revised score -
NWA = 3
DAL = 3ish


future score.....I don't know if I really need to worry about this. Just put the right person in the position. I don't care where they are from.

Just to update for you, starting January 1, 2011:

747/777/330 - MD DAL

757/767 - TC NWA

320/737 - SW DAL

MD88/90/DC9 - BT DAL

I agree that what really matters is that the right person be put in the position for the right reason. I don't personally know most of these people and will give them a chance. I think that most of the fNWA people are concerned with a potential attitude of "quit your complaining and just do as your are told and the only way to do this is the way we have been doing it for years here at Delta". It is still just part of the change that we are all going through. I hope that this does provide a greater insight and cross manufacturer standardization.

I also think that everyone here is not giving near the credit that the fleet captain position deserves. They work hard so that life on the line is as standard and threat free as possible.

Just my opinion and yes, it may stink!

Touche. Although, I wasn't talking about me....I was just trying to defend FTB and 80....:D

I'm actually a very hip, sophisticated Southern Californian metro-sexual who is quite confident in my masculinity.;)

It still works like that, "fly your checkride just like you fly the airplane". We don't have sopa, but we still have a VOL 1 and FCTM.
Do you have any specifics as to what you are told to do differently in the sim vs on the line? I don't know of anyone that endorses that idea or teaches it like that, at least in the 320 fleet. If it happens it is out of line and everything taught is exactly how you should do it on the line.

I beg your pardon, I'm very sexual.

Just discovered an awesome deal thru DAL discount page. MS Office Pro 2010 can be purchased for $9.95. Just go to Employee Info | Discounts/Employee Perks then drill down to Computers. :)

I think we lost our Panasonic discount and the monthly discount on ADT. Either that or I just couldn't find the links.
