Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

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.

That would seriously suck.

Can you guys tell me what times during the day they run the PCS open time?

Thanks!

In my completely unbiased A330 Captain's opinion I think that would be an outstanding swap. I'd be surprised if it was true though. Eight 330s would be half their 330 fleet.

I think it'd be great. The 330 is a significantly nicer plane to ride on, it's more capable, and they're newer. The entertainment systems are nicer and they don't seem to be be reset in-flight as much. The seats in coach are better. The fNWA seats in business are better until the 767 new seats are done.

It is very quiet and roomy.

From a pilot standpoint, it also pays more.

Doesn't always happen exactly on time. Think of it as a NET time. I've heard someone in crew scheduling has to initiate it manually. Why enter the 21st century now?

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:38 PM.
