Buzz, you see the deal we get on Direct on the "You Decide" Employee Discounts site?


It is so good that I am giving Dish an ultimatum to match or after 12 years I will switch.

Wow. I need to check that out. I ditched Charter for Direct several months ago, & didn't know we got one! :eek:

It is a new deal that popped up after we dumped Sparkfly.

It is in the upper 30's for the 250 pack. I pay near 100 for that today.

Just checked it out. Us loyal, existing Directv customers are not invited. GREAT deal for those of you who want great SAT TV and the NFL Super Ticket. :(

It just means you are awaiting OE and are unassigned in your current category. You should see IOE on your schedule at some point. They usually get that on your schedule sometime around the 3rd week of sim training for non-new hire pilots depending on the fleet type.

Somewhat related subject...when does AT&T loose exclusivity on the i-Phone?
Thanks

My Verizon peeps are saying they lose it on Jan 1 2011. It has never been made public what the deal was, but the rumors say Jan 1 2011 is the date. Verizon now has the I-pad and they say they will see an I-Phone in 2011. Most likely it will be a 4G I-Phone.

They announced today that the 4G system is going to be up and running on Dec 5th. Plans start at $50/mo for 5GB. No phones until 2Q 2011 just modems for your laptop until then. Not going to wait around for an I-phone if it is going to be a 4G and cost me $50/mo. Gonna pick up a Droid and hope Delta upgrades I-crew to be more compatible.

If you find yourself completely out of phase with your control inputs to aircraft movement, you might be doing something wrong... and might end up as the second most viewed picture on airliners.net!

If you wish to replicate said maneuver then next time when the other guy is nearing the flare tell him that you met your wife at an orgie.
:D

It'll make a plane with hydraulics look like one who uses a control wheel connected to cables connected to trim tabs connected to ailerons that are connected to spoilers through a mixer but all connected to a wing connected to one really bad *** airplane. :cool:

Or you could say you met your boyfriend at an orgie.

Depending on who you fly with it, might not be a "wise" thing to do, but it all depends on your personal goal at the moment.

Yes, yes, FTB borrowing lines from one very funny show:

I've been a die hard cable customer for years. How do you all like DirectTV? I live in California so I don't have to worry about snow and thunderstorms taking out the dish signal. I do live in a townhome, though. Their website is a little confusing. Should I expect extra "surprise" charges popping up, because there sure is a lot of fine print on their promos.
