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

No, I actually got a line for the second time in three months, no unstacking that I can see, and one of my only two qualifiers says honored but, alas, I don't think it was. Its not a big deal. I'm just trying to scrape the rust off my regular line groove. Its been awhile. I'm used to a raw of 48 and my wife is getting tired of me sitting around partying with hookers and blowing up hotel rooms:D

Awesome pic satch. :D

The greatest punishment Al from Dadeville could receive is sitting in a slammer with the Fed's (FBI and EPA evidently) all over him while being ridiculed and spurned by Nick Saban and Gene Stallings (if he's sober) and watching the two schools rally around what's good in this rivalry like the back-to-back undefeated, Heisman and National Champion seasons.

No...the BEST punishment for him would be for the judge to require he dig out the dead tree(s) with a spoon, while on a live-feed CCTV for both Auburn and Alabama fans to watch. Then, have him watch as the fans from both schools replant the Toomer Trees...just to spite him, IMMHO. :cool:

If folks use common sense and try to commute as if the policy is not there, then it will not be over used and it will stick around. If folks don't try to commute on open flights and go as late as possible banking on the policy to save them, then it will create over use of the policy and possible termination. While the program was active at NWA, I used it a total of three times. All 3 times it was due to wx or maintenance cancel etc. My approach was, it was an emergency procedure you could use to get to work. Hopefully, the abusers of the policy will be called in an advised on their incorrect usage of the policy. We had very little problems with it at NWA. Should be the same results in the future. Hope so anyway.:)

It would be interesting to see if we'd have the nerve to send this back, since it conflicts with our contract. It can be agreed to, minus the b.s., and included as a LOA.

Sink, you slay me!:D

A Facebook page started by Alabama graduates, called Tide for Toomer's, solicited donations for the damaged trees. By late Friday afternoon more than 21,000 people had joined.

That beach is empty. Carl should've turned and flew down towards Muscle Beach.

But he'd probably gouged his eyes out. I looked up pics. I'm not posting pics. I'll post this instead, get my drift...
