You know there are a lot of mods on King Airs. They're well designed but mods just make them even better... or mask the obnoxiousness of a PT-6.

Out of curiosity, how many 1980s 737s are flying at Delta?

Actually, zero. Mid-Late 90's at the earliest and as recent as 2010. 100 more on the way! Step up to the Fluff. Dig it. ;)

B) impressive. 38 years old and 35,000 hours?? So he's been flying 900 hours a year sinc the day he was born??? Or let's be reasonable, say he started at 18, he'd flown 1700 hours a year then... :confused: I wondered about that too, so I looked into it… Japanese papers are reporting that FO had 2,400 hrs, and CA had 16,500 hrs. That seems more believable. I think it was translation error :rolleyes: |

#1. How can a 50/50 "balance" favor the DAL pilots? OR the other guys? And.. what is this "balance" of which you speak? Seats? Weight? Airplanes? Sorties? Number of pilots required to fly an airplane across the Atlantic?
#4. "etc" is a gray word that lawyers will shoot holes in like Swiss Cheese. What does etc mean? What about Inverse Assignments? Should those still be premium pay? IF so, then this proposal is a big fat no in my book, because it is not fair to require a senior guy to stay home and forego a GS when the junior guy answers his phone and gets dbl pay. etc was me being lazy and not thinking of every possibility. IA has been added to my list. My intent is that no one picks up anything (or is IA'd) if we have guys on the street. No one flying over ALV, etc. If we're constantly running out of reserve pilots and have guys on the street, then it's time to start recalling pilots. I'm fine with going ALV+15 when there are no guys on the street, but that should be the max cap, including swaps, pots, trip parking, whatever. The goal should be to get our pay up so we don't have to be our own worst enemy. Stagnation sucks for everyone and the sooner we fix the contract so guys don't have to grab every hour they can, the better. |

Even I must admit. I would like to see this in DAL Colors.
Anyone know what a "CG Management System" is? http://www.super98.com/images/pages/717/717_Small.jpg http://www.super98.com/images/pages/...-II_Config.jpg Cheers George |
I'm still trying to figure out what "button" he could have pushed that would cause a 130 degree roll?
Perhaps he inadvertantly put his hand on the rudder trim wheel for support, while reaching with his other hand for the door lock, and spun the trim wheel? OR...maybe he stretched out one leg while reaching for the door lock, and had his foot on the rudder pedal, pushig it too far, too fast? |
