You do know that the 2011 Q1 CQ disk works on Macs, right?
Stick it in and double click "Mac_Start" and it works very well. (there is an issue with the dock blocking part of the screen on 13.3 screens, but hide the dock and you're fine) The CD envelope states: "Minimum Requirements: Windows XP..." And has only Windows Instructions. |
How do you get the icrew max schedule on your iphone?

Do you think a 12-15% in Intl flying will show on the upcoming AE? Maybe I can get back to the ER!!!

I did not like his statement about quickly retiring fuel inefficient paid for aircraft if oil prices continue to go up. He also seemed a bit out of touch with the poor quality of the product. Hopefully it improves this year.
The rest of it was encouraging. |

Yeah, I'm not an Apple fan. But why should the company spend money to produce software that is compatible with your MAC? MACs are exclusive. They only represent about 9% of the total computer market share and they are only compatible with ... MACs.
Should the company also be required to make their software compatible with other OSs? If not, why? In the old days One went to recurrent and spent a day with multiple ground school instructors such as aircraft systems, ops specs, etc. There was no such thing as distributed training. The ops specs time was usually outstanding as the instructor would show us multiple "gotchas" and stories of how other DAL pilots had unintentionally erred. It really was good training... Then Delta (with ALPA's blessing through a contractual change) started distributed training. At first they put a fairly thick printed publication in your V-file. There was information and questions. When you went to recurrent you started the day by taking a written test. Now that has morphed into quarterly training (I personally would rather endure the pain of that CD once a year rather than quarterly.) distributed via CD that apparently is designed to only work on PCs. If the company is going to require us to accomplish this training, They should, of their own volition, make it a user friendly product. Failing that, I believe ALPA should prod the company to do so. |

True but I think most of those aircraft are leased or under finance. I don't think many if any are paid for. He also mentioned on a flight attendant conference call his desire to accelerate the retirement of the nines. |

Posted a poll on PC or Mac to get a rough idea of what % of Mac users there are. Not that it'll change anything, but damn it is annoying to have to use a PC for Delta's training requirements.

Unlikely. Not system wide. Maybe in ATL. |
120 a bbl has always been at or near the breaking point for the 9. As oil goes up, and need for next gen technology increases, the decision to retire jets that are effected by this will be moved up.
