Anyone know why the DC3 never gets out in the sun any more? It would seem cheaper for Delta to rent that thing from the museum than to fly a 767 or 757 to air shows.

Finally something I'd volunteer to do on the weekends ... .

Of course that presupposes a lot.

Too many 757/777 qualified big-wigs with no real tail wheel experience dinging it up at high profile events last I heard. Better to let it sit and get dusty than let a non-SLI DC-3 qualified guy actually fly it (second hand info, but from a decent source....)

If I understand what you are asking, I think you might be confused about "earlier" as it is used in that section of the contract.

If they give you a trip that doesn't sign in until the next day then that is not "earlier" no matter what time of day it signs in. "Earlier" refers to anything before your original report day/time for the trip. It doesn't mean time of day.

Don't know if I explained that very well. Here's an example: If you were originally supposed to sign in at 0830 on Monday they can't give you something that signs in at 0815 on Monday. But they can give you something that signs in at 0530 on Tuesday.

While there is a lot of medical explanations my wife's transplant is being postponed (some areas of concern during pre-surgery testing) and being relisted as a dual kidney/liver transplant. While this is very disappointing in the short term in the long term the doctors say her prognosis is much better. Also, because of the nature of her disease (it is very rare) she is actually fairly high on the list and we expect to be back for the double transplant within a year. I can't thank everyone enough for all the support we've been given by everyone and I'll be sure to update whenever anything changes. I would also like everyone to know that Delta Air Lines management and the insurance company (yes - we have United Health) have also been extremely supportive during all the care we have received since she first became ill. If anyone ever has issues with their health insurance please feel free to PM me because I have learned way more about our insurance benefits than I ever wanted to.

Thanks again,

I have one day of reserve before recurrent, and I get to win to MCO and win back to DTW. We are seriously short, I get used almost every day I am available. I don't know what's gonna happen this summer.

If management had anything to do with it, I'm surprised one of Jerry's kids* isn't flying it.

(as in Jerry Atkin, not Jerry Lewis)

I bet we could find a tail wheel qualified first officer for me:
