Are you "illegal" or an immigrant? If you're "illegal," maybe you should be the one getting out of Cali. If you're an immigrant, thank you for coming to America through the proper channels and contributing to our great nation.

What? Does it offend you that buzzpat doesn't like illegal aliens?? Guess what..either do I! I hope they all get shipped back to their own countries! Let me guess...you're of Mexican decent and took "offense" to the "illegal" comment. You sensitive little B!^@%...

You possibly just made the stupidest post ever on APC.

If you are an "illegal" then sneak back to where you snuck in from and come back the legal way. If you are legal citizen of a certain descent and think that someone referring to "illegals" is racist or demeaning, then you are the real idiot and we don't need people like you in this great country.

If you are "illegal," then maybe instead of calling me names, you ought to thank me for paying for your health care and for your children to go to school in "Cali." Besides, nobody that's from here refers to it as "Cali." And how is it that you fly for DAL?

If you're not an illegal, lighten up. Its not racist to call an illegal alien an "illegal alien."

Agreed Ferd. The original comment that started this tangent was made in jest in reference to DAL not reimbursing the full cost of FAA Class 1 physicals. Lets get back on track.

So, anybody else look at Phase 1 Integration yet?

Yeah, I'm about half way through the "northies" part. Mostly "exactly the same just different". (757)

Will be fun doing the sim and seeing how it actually flows.

I'm taking bets on how long it takes me to not screw up the different "call outs".................

Ferd

PS I listened to a CP"s secretary explaining the physical reimbursment. They pay you once for the EKG and once not and it may not match when you get your's done.........but it's all a wash in a rolling 12 month period. Ok sorry, that even confused me.

When you're finished, I'm going to make the SAFETY case against it.

Hey Fatty...
Read your posts in the past, and have agreed with you most of the time. However, Im gonna have to throw the %& flag on this one. As an 8 year ASA instructor type guy and now a DAL junior puke for the last few years, I hafta say that the DAL school house is actually kinda lacking compared to how we trained in the "Minors." Granted, there are 500 hour wunderkinds, but we put them through the wringer. Whereas here, they kinda assume you can do it (regardless if you actually can). When DCI newbies come out of training, theyre definitely green, however, as a captain, flying 5 legs-a-day, 4 days a week, with an inexperienced guy will certainly put hair on your chest. DCI capts are pretty sharp and are more than qualified to work here.


And as far as bigger and more complex... Bigger? Yes. More complex? The CRJ (pronounced "surge"), and he ERJ (pronounced "urge") are pretty technologically advanced pos's. Try a Brasilia training program for that matter.
FWIW... Just my .115778 shares of Delta stock
