Most of that can be found in the a/c config guide that the company publishes and is available on the Deltanet. It is in the left column on the Flt Operations main page about 1/3 of the way down.

As for fuel burn, go look up the engines and multiply by four. Max fuel and weigh configurations for our fleet will be published in the 747-400 Vol 1 on their fleet page.

My big question is the person junior to me has his/her sim check out at the end of March, and I thought that was the conversion date. If that is the case I have someone junior to me converting before me, same base, same aircraft, is that allowed? Oh and we both got the jet on the same AE and neither of us was an MD or VD, both just straight AE.
Call the contract admin guys at the ALPA office. You should have the toll free number.

If you both convert at the same time, it is of no consequence who starts training first. If they convert before you, then you should get ER pay the same day they do.

Completely wild, but the LCC guys that I know say we are going to get eight of their 330's for eight of our ER's. Frankly I have not even wasted the time to confirm it. FWIW, East and West pilots have told me this. Apparently it is one of their "big" rumors over there right now.

It was quite the show. I wish I could have gone, but I was on a trip though I got into LA a day later, and there were a TON of red wearing Wisconsins at the layover hotel.

Thanks Carl,

Also, how much fuel can the 747 hold?

My parents were out there and part of the mix. Lots of red.

It depends on the density of the fuel, but the max is around 365,000 pounds.

Who won the bet?

DAL get discounts around Vail - not sure about the rest. Check DALPA forum for more info or the DLNet website.
