I couldn't find firefox 3.6 but I did notice that firefox 4 was up to 4.0.1 so I took a chance and it seems to work just fine with iCrew and iCrew max.

I have an email into Greg Hale as I cant get BidAssist to load from the download.....I have an uneasy feeling its a windows program (even though he lists MAC as a trouble shooting option). I wasn't going to mess with it (used it for years and like the sort function) but the desktop PBS is windows only. Does that other Delta PBS program work on a MAC?

Thanks again for all you're help......any thoughts on getting a wireless printer to work.

The other program is Easybid from Flightline Software. It is also "Windows only." However, I understand it works with Crossover on the Mac. I haven't tried it yet... because I'm real junior in a tiny little category and don't need Easybid right now. But check on the DALPA Forum... there are a couple of threads about Crossover and how Easybid works with it. FWIW, I really liked Easybid back when I used to use it (on a Windows machine).

Here's the link where you can download Easybid: Flightline Downloads

And here's the link to Crossover: Crossover

It's been a while since I've done it. But I have a wireless printer working great with my wireless network and my MacBook Pro. If I remember correctly, it was just a matter of going to System Preferences, Print & Fax, and then adding the printer.

What has happened with our compensation from Boeing because of the 787 delays?

Second, if I were DAL, I'd keep the odd gates at C and the evens at D. That way, they'd control the whole Ramp 4. That way, they could bring in an auctioneer to run the ramp freq and keep the operation moving. But, there's benefits (connections) to having everyone in D.

That makes sense, but I think if I were DAL I'd get rid of D and move all of the gates to C. Passengers are always really confused by the escalators at D since they only go one way on each side, and it is a bit narrower than the other concourses so it is really crowded, especially when US airways is boarding. The passengers spread out into the entire hallway blocking everyone from getting through. It would make sense for the low cost airline to take the narrower concourse and for Delta to move all of their passengers to what I think most would consider a bit nicer. Plus ASA just built their crew lounge on C a couple years ago and the area at the end of C where it widens out is nice and makes room for all of the gates. I haven't been on D since they put jet bridges in, so maybe they did the same there, I have no idea.

That's what I thought too. The lexmark isn't on the driver list and it's not seeing it on the network.......operator error I'm sure:D

Off to the web for a driver!!

Thanks,

Don't feel bad, FTB. I understood what you were doing... and I thought it was very creative and funny. And, yes, I have a daughter (and a sense of humor). ;)

Apparently we're getting gross weight increases on a number of our fleets (737-800, 757-200, and 767-300ER) as part of the compensation.

So much for piles of replacement 747-8's or whatever the rumor of the week was. We got an extra 1000 lbs of MTOW on the 738's.

Yayyyyyy. Way to stick it to 'em, boys.
