Dude, seriously? It's not an OH-6 rotorhead, unless they mounted it on a tail! For what it's worth, the HIRSS does a fairly decent job of masking the IR signature in almost all aspects but from behind (yes even the 701C). The point in masking the TR IR signature is to prevent an engagement from a shoulder fired IR guided missile from some other aspect than directly behind. That's the most amount of detail Ill cover on an open thread.
Someone slept during ground school and TTPs!

There is no IR shoulder fired missile that targets anything in the low teperature range of a tail rotor. All IR missiles target temperature spectra of engines. Tails and tail rotors are in jeopardy because they are in the way.

Bidding Question
When does the "summer flying schedule" begin?
I'm thinking about trying to bid for a rolling thunder-friendly schedule for June. Do we really get cranking in June or is it more like July? I'd rather not end up with 18 of the last 19 days on reserve if we're not gonna be short in June. Category is ATL73NB. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Another greedy pilot

Oil has dropped to $105/barrel; DAL stock is up 3%.

May 4, 2010 - Delta announces intention to hire pilots after the summer.
May 4, 2011 - DALPA emails out LOA 28 for early outs.
Maybe next year
In all seriousness though, I hope that a lot of old guys jump on this great opportunity to bail.

This has nothing to do with being fat staffed. It was a program that they were going to offer to everyone but us, and DALPA felt we should be included so we are. Frankly, they probably prefer that no one takes it.

In time I guess. I hope they bring something French to ATL sooner than later
So far driving to work is everything I dreamed it could be. I keep pulling for the STL minihub for you.

This program is liable to get expensive real quick.
I think quite a few will take the money and run. Especially NWA guys who still have their DB. They're going to be working for nothing if they pass this up.
