Hey one of you international guys wanna give me some tips on where to stay in ROR or maybe send me a message with the crew hotel # or price info. Looking to head out there on Saturday through NRT so any other tips are appreciated too. Thanks

I spent a lot of time in the jumpseat of NW 757s in between LGA and DTW when I was flying the MD-88 (about a year before the merger was announced), so when I went to 767 school I was calling it "Felch" like I was used to hearing.

"We call it flight level change here, son"

"okay then... I'm on probation still.... whatever you say!"

767 school at Delta was not very good... very little in the books as far as actual stuff that is normally done on the line and even worse systems manuals. It's like it was barely come out of the dark ages of the good ol' boy flying. The other two schools I've been through were much much better... 73N school was absolutely fantastic.



Merry Christmas, all!

A christmas present to all:

What has been seen cannot be unseen!! :D

We are all one airline now..north and south are just locations...no coal for you Merry Christmas

Was up in MSP for recurrent last month and had a North F/O call out "Feltch" and I had NO idea what he was talking about! Thought he might be referring to the Chevy Chase Movie "Fletch" but that would be like Ferd and Fred:). Let's see, some others....F/O's setting the stab trim, not arming Speedbrake for ldg, the seatbelt sign, Status page called up and left "up" after waveoff, comm 1 and 2 usage on ramp and ground control, the logbook (a biggie!) and course the whole FMS/MCDU thing, among many others!!!:D

No. If you're even asking that question, Delta is probably not for you.

Put a smile on that face, grumpy bear!

Oh my god! An FO set the stab trim? Did the jet explode?

I prefer Fletch, vs. feltch, myself...and I always keep some 3-n-1 oil in my flight kit.

I actually prefer the south way of running the FMS, but I'm flexible. For all of the above, I really don't care who does it, as long as it gets done right.

Happy Holidays from the Wilshire Grand (it ain't that grand)

FO's always set the stab trim in the 73N (or at least I do, I haven't flown with any other FOs). Never heard of "feltch".....however.:D

Merry Christmas Boyz!

PS Has anybody flown immediately after losing their crew ID? Yep, lost mine and looks like I'm heading out.:eek:

I love how we FO's set the stab trim on the 73N but the only calibrated indicator is on the captain's side, haha.

I follow the "spirit" of the new FMC stuff... I'm only high workload if I sense that it'll be a few too many buttons to type while managing the autopilot (basically a last minute runway change). Other than that the inputs are simple enough to where theres no reason to have two heads down (one staring at the FMC waiting for the guy to selected it and one fat fingering buttons on it).

As far as the ID badge I havent, but I found one and I now have a ridiculously news talkshow handsomely picture ID. :D
