After all, were the German pilots being "unreasonable" when they bombed Pearl Harbor?
Maybe he meant "got bombed" at Pearl Harbor. At least I hope so!

Ooppps, a little too late Boomer. I agree though, mandatory viewing. Along with Hot Shots! which I watched on Comedy Central today. Charlie Sheen in his prime. Winning!

Also on a separate but possibly similar subject - wear your seatbelts on the hotel van.
Call DALPA aeromedical.

Even better, call DPMA. Those ladies in the office at DPMA know more about any medical issue then just about anyone.

Seems to have some legs. It makes sense if they want the 190/RJ1000 and want the training efficiencies.
As long as those pilots are placed behind current DAL pilots Im ok and excited with that. I have nothing against DCI pilots, but the majority of their A/C growth, hiring and success has been due in part by a large sacrifice and career degradation of Mainline pilots.

I would love that the RJ and the RJ pilots come on to our property (If they want), but I have a feeling the DCI pilots would want better than staple. Unacceptable.

From what I can tell most of the senior ASA folks wouldn't be completely opposed to such a deal. They would definitely want to keep longevity for sick time accrual, vacation, non-rev...ect

having said that, it's been a few years since I heard that rumor.
