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

There is a physical DIRECT button to press. Once you press that button it will pull up a screen with all the fixes on your flight plan. You can scroll to the fix you're cleared direct to and line select it. That will pull the flight plan up and show what you're commanding, but all print will be in yellow and in the bottom right corner there will be a Verify prompt. In the left corner there will be a Erase prompt. Just hit the Verify prompt, & the Commodore 64 processors start smoking & off you go! :D

He forgot the part about *ABEAM PTS but otherwise accurate.

open time swap question

Can I swap a 3 day for a 3 day (red eye, but it shows as a 3day) on the same day. Trips are not qualified. We don't have reserve coverage for any day this month. What if the trip is qualified? thx in advance.

If it is day for day it shouldn't matter about anything else....A 3 day is a 3 day etc.

Sinca, what is your Avatar pic? Looks like "One Lap of the Confederate States" or the airports which get a one hour ground hold when a cloud passes within thirty miles of the tower in Atlanta.

We should be able to mic the cabin then and broadcast it.

Of course when there are cute FA's it might sound like this:

FA 1: "Did you see that cute guy in 1B?"

FA 2: "The guy in the suit, YES! very hot."

FA 3: "Did you see the pilots?"

FA 1 & 2: "Ewwwwww."

FA 3: "I know! The Captain just kept staring at my chest and the FO said something about have I lost that love and feeling or something. What the hell?"

:D

Well, all airports get a 30 min ground hold come hell or high water but it's the ones under MEM center that won't let you give them a time like JAX, PNS and such. Ticks me off every time I go to BNA and if you ask them nicely about it they treat you like an idiot. Hate to say it, but while you work all day in that tower I work all day at a lot of towers and this program ATL is doing needs to be extended if it hasn't been already.

Rant over.

As to the lap around the Confederate States, isn't that Delta from the 1930s to the 1970s? :D

Retirements, Headcount, Highest & Lowest Sen#

Don't always trust the numbers of the guy who doesn't like math. But as per the seniority list with the new AE, if you're curious about pilot ages:

While I'm typing, do I need to save brain cells or kill some off. Boeing guy going to Airbus? (tic)

From what I've heard from Boeing guys, my guess is you better keep as many as possible to make the change. Once you've been assimilated into the Borg, you can kill off as many as you like. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it and it WILL make you lazy.
