My only problem with the MD88 B position is how you glow in the dark now. My wife is getting used to it but one buddy, his wife was so concerned that she doesnt let him go out during the day (like to run errands or have lunch at a BBQ joint) and definitely no sex. I think many wives have opted for the no sex policy.
Think of it like this, there will be tons of trips to DAY, ROC, BUF and JAN but no short or long term tours in A Rack. But bid what you want and want what you bid, and if you want your wife to establish a restricted area around your marriage bed and if you want to glow in the dark, definately bid ATL M88 B. http://airtransparency.squarespace.c...=1279199783245 I took the liberty to draw out the preflight flows for the MD88. http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/temp3-10.jpg |

1."Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have." 2."To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian." 3."I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car." 4."The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth." 5. "The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week." 6. "I was taxing the A380 at the Paris Air Show and was safely clear of a building until I hit it." I wonder if there will ever be "funny ASAP quotes" published? Put all of the airlines together and wash out the types and location. Bet we'd love it. |

So lemme get this straight... Between now and... sometime... soon... DAL is gonna move the 747 sim to ATL... get it certified... all the while maintaining a continuous level of training... then pay perdiem to the guys in MSP so that they will go to ATL and continue that level of training.. all the way thru the end of 2012....
It's not like 747 sim instructors are rare. The sim will be down while it is disassembled and moved.. reassembled, and re-certified. Wouldn't DAL be able to find suitable replacements in that time period? Don't start with the corporate knowledge thing either... I just don't buy that one.. Fire away |

Fire away I don't want to argue but I have seen the difference between the DGS instructors and the line pilot instructors. My assumption would be there would even be a greater level of difference from off the street instructors. |
Any of you guys see this?
Embraer sees chances of Delta order
Monday June 20, 2011, 11:38 am EDT By Cesar Bianconi LE BOURGET, France (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer sees "good chances" of firm orders from U.S. carrier Delta Air Lines, which will likely make a decision to renew its fleet by October, a top company executive told Reuters on Monday. Embraer is competing to win orders from Delta, which will likely buy as many as 100 new regional aircraft to replace its aging fleet. The U.S. carrier could buy a total 400 planes among large, mid-sized and small jets. "Our expectation is that Delta decides about all this in October ... they are in talks with everyone," Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, who heads Embraer's commercial aviation unit, said in an interview at the Paris Air Show. Silva's comments highlight Embraer's salesforce efforts to defend its market leader position in the regional jet market, which is slowly attracting rivals from China, Russia and Japan. Embraer said earlier in the day that it won orders for 39 E-190 regional jets worth $1.7 billion at list prices at the airshow. Customers include Air Lease Corp, Air Astana, General Electric, Sriwijaya Air and Kenya Airways, Embraer said. The planemaker predicted demand for 7,225 regional jets in the next 20 years, worth $320 billion. The world's biggest producer of regional jets is also close to sealing a deal for the sale of six to 10 jets to Republic Airlines, Silva said. Talks with Indonesian airline Garuda could produce a firm order within the next three months, he noted. Sales announcements are easing worries about Embraer's near-term challenges, which include a strong local currency that drives up production costs, natural disasters and geopolitical tensions around the world that could disrupt deliveries, and a sluggish global economic recovery. Sao Paulo-traded shares of the company rose slightly on Monday, the second day of gains. Embraer's U.S.-traded stock gained 0.4 percent to $31.82. Among companies competing for the Delta contract are behemoths Boeing and Airbus, and Canada's Bombardier -- Embraer's archrival in the regional market. Silva voiced concerns that plans by Airbus and Boeing to ramp up output in coming years could spark a glut of aircraft in global markets. "Both of them are expecting to deliver 1,000 jets a year. That's a lot," he said. "If there are disruptions in orders by Malaysia, India, or any global economic problem, it could be bad for the industry as a whole," he added.
