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

Well I just had a guy SE a 767-300ER at 399K and it worked just fine. Of course we had no turns except to head down to the runway. I was not too sure but he proved to be correct.

The ER can do it. The 50,000 lb thrust engines on the other hand are better used as hair dryers.

Watch out boys, the Jabberwock is REALLY Doug Steenland :D The good new is I don't think he is anywhere in our management so we can still talk infront of him:cool:

For my southie buds, Steenland was overheard saying that at a party while we were going through the bankruptcy process.

PS I agree, the machines probably do weigh less:D

Darn. I'll outsource you before you can tell anyone.

Anyone know of a good mechanic? For some reason the wrenches around here will not talk to me and I'm tired of changing the oil on my wife's GL450. Oil drips on my head and leaves a stain.

Speaking of 747's. How about a 975,000lb RTO?

Curious:

Could SkyWest buy a 120 seat jet, fly it for Alaska and fill it half way up with our passengers under AS code?

Alaska's guys say yes. I'm thinking no, unless SkyWest jumped the hoop of getting a distinct Certificate to run it on. Of course, Republic runs "marketing" Certificates (FAA's term) like they print them out of a photocopier.

Their "investigators" will find Jimmy Hoffa before they find any scope violation.

You guys still don't get it. What is ALPA's INTENT ?

They want Republic out there to drive down wages in the belief that cheaper outsourced flying means more money for the favored pilots on our list. Not only is there not a scope violation, we engineered it this way.
