The problem is that they use Delta to PS pilots to cover the United operation. That is (picture a finger wave, Deltalina-style)... not allowed on this or any other Delta flight.
I figured as long as SkyWest paid for a ticket it didn't matter, but I didn't know there was stipulations to it. |

Thanks for the info. Word I got today from my "very reliable source" is that it's on SD's desk for approval for this AE. I hope you're right, though. A 2 hour drive to work is a heck of a lot better than a mostly RJ commute... and I'll take it as long as I can keep it!
I was able to put in ATL DC9 in AE bids on Icrew and it accepted it. ATL 320 didn't work. Hmm. |
I figure the 320 and 330 would come later.

A vendor has a plane that's going to fly a leg for Mainline Airways, get to the outstation, and then fly a few legs as Vendor Independent Airlines. The first leg gets not only fuel to get to the destination, but 45 minutes worth of taxi fuel when it's known to be a 10 minute taxi at the moment, plus fuel for an alternate when it's not needed, plus 30 minutes of holding fuel, plus 20 minutes of contingency fuel. It lands as Mainline Express at the outstation with a few thousand pounds above what it needs. Now it's that much closer to being at release fuel for its flight as Vendor Independent Airlines, where it's competing with the parent company that just bought half of the fuel that's in the tank. |

It doesn't take A330 btw. ---- Mass bird kill in Arkansas and Louisiana Determined By J. McCONNAUGHEY, Associated Press Tue Jan 4, 5:57 pm ET NEW ORLEANS – It isn't easy being a blackbird in the South recently but thanks to some excellent detective work the reason that caused thousands of blackbirds to become confused, crash into homes, cars and each other. It has been determined that it was not fireworks nor a windstorm nor hail that killed the birds but a shock wave created by a Delta DC-9 flying in and out of Memphis. And not just any DC-9, but DC-9s under the command of Newk. "That ***hole" said one environmentalist from Oregon who was not on location and did not want to be named. Delta has not admitted wrong doing and said that this is not the first instance in which DC-9 shock waves have created environmental issues. While not admitting blame, Delta in a rash move retired it's remaining fleet of DC-9-40 series aircraft. The Delta Air Line Pilots Association, known as DALPA, decided to remain silent about the incident. "That doesn't surprise me," said 747 Captain Carl Spackler. |

When I was getting ready to blast out of shanghai a couple weeks ago, a China eastern md90 was landing. I thought those were already in our possesion (in the form of a question). Are Chinese pilots or DAL pilots or outside contractors ferrying these to the US?

There are also some OFIC guys showing up on the availability list. Don't really understand that.
