I think I'm going to create a new website that communes YouTube, twitter and Facebook all in one... youtwitface.com



Thank you Conan obrien :D


I agree with the Ice Machines. There are two new types of systems that are gold if in the right location.

I like the French Fry vending machine in the Boise airport.

Could be. That might also fall under stress. For some pilots, it's actually IMSAFED where the D=Do I have my felt puppet?

Is this like the acronym MAAAAAAAP on the MD88's non-ILS approaches? :D

Can we use LAVS, it works, fleet commonality!? No? MAAAAAAP?

I always thought a college town would be perfect. Lots of kegs. Now a college town near a lake. Gold mine. Beach too.

The sad truth is that most DAL pilots won't ever get to the top wrung of the ladder, and as such, will make less money than a stagnating Southwest FO.

They'll tell you that times are tough and our company needs to have cost advantages in order to be competitive. And if you complain too much, they'll tell you that you're a "malcontent" and that if you're so unhappy you should find something else to do for a living.

They won't actually come out and say it in so many words... but what they are really telling you is to not expect too much. Restoration? Forget it! It's not even a consideration by this MEC.

Oh, I didn't know you were referring to yourself in the OP. but since you asked.....

The first two sentences and the last paragraph of your OP sure does reek of not having any verifiable truth behind it, and I have never seen any facts/evidence to back up that members of the current MEC have that attitude.

Sooooo....If you wrote isn't factual then I use that quote as a fact, am I being factual or not?:confused:

In my personal experience, each time I've had a chance to address a rep regarding how bad the PWA is right now and that I had many provisions in my regional airline contract that were far superior to the DAL PWA, they agreed and they are not happy with the status quo either. When queried about the goals for the next PWA, it has been made abundantly clear that they will not determine the negotiating goals of the NC without the results from the contract survey. To do otherwise would be acting outside the will of the pilots.

STOP SPREADING RUMORS/LIES about what the MEC is aiming for!!!!

I don't know, you don't know, and they don't know what the opener will be yet!

Until the survey results are complied we do not know how much the pilots want in vague or specific terms, and to spread rumors and commentary otherwise is disingenuous at best, an attempt to manage expectations, and at worst an effort to undermine the efforts of the MEC to put more money in our wallets and improve the lives of Delta Pilots.

I rank that up there with this franchise that is "Fresh Hot Pizza" from a vending machine.

Of course, but most of those markets have been tapped.

In TX they have a vending machine type deal like this that makes a killing with all of the oil and natural gas workers. The line at those in the mornings is at least 10 deep. (They also all buy 50 lbs a piece)

Btw, what is the IMSAFE checklist, I must have missed the memo. Maybe it wasn't on the CD this quarter!

I learned the IMSAFE checklist as a student pilot. Probably a civilian thing. :D

Anyways, is been covered but I learned it as this:

Illness
Medication
Stress
Alcohol
Fatigue
Emotion(Cloudy thoughts)

If I'm not free of all of those things, it's a no go.

Not really sure where SWA will grow. I think stagnation and saturation is the entire reason they bought AT.
