I heard as soon as the first sim is unbolted in MSP they are ready to rent A320 sim time in Miami. So the moving itself should not be a issue.

Buzz,

I guess the good news for the Alaska dudes is................Delta can't load 'em up and ship them to ATL and NYC. I guess all us western dudes/dudettes just need to realize we are an eastern airline

But, there still is a Delta Orient............Asia doesn't suck as bad as Europe, right now

Preferably people 10800 and junior...

This just reminds me, when Flight Safety moved the Embraer 120 simulator from HOU to LGB on a flatbed truck it became the victim of a hit and run at a truck stop or something.

Of course you could probably ship it by train... but then you don't want it to be shot like those 737 fuselage barrels are on their trip from ICT to SEA.

And just think of the fun the A320 Reserves will have, trying to cover all 3 airports!

Hello? Yellow Cab? I need a ride to Laguardia... no wait, now it's Newark...No, no, now it's JFK, and HURRY!

Yeah - No kidding. A few months ago I complained that our bid package was the worst I had even seen at DAL. Well we have a new winner the November DAL 737 Bid package:

58 rotations without red-eye flights.
74 rotations that include red-eye flights.

And for the piece de resistance - 45 four day rotations that include red-eyes and pay between 17 and 21 hours!!!

35% of our rotations are four day trips with red-eyes that pay less than 21 hours!!!!

Thanks to our great duty period average contract.

The ALPA guys keep saying that "in total" the Alaska code share is good for the Delta Pilots. Although I am doubtful of that comment, it is pretty clear the LAX guys are being disproportionately impacted by the Alaska agreement.

Scambo,

I'm just part of a test to figure out how much they will pay us for training on the new syllabus. Guess they have already done the DC-9 and the A320, now I'm going through the A330 course which takes effect in Dec. They are timing us going through the at home systems course to get an average time then see if we can actually pass the system validation.

I am fighting every professional bone in my body not to do any extra studying. Based on my end of section quizzes, my chance of passing the SV are slim and next to none based on one pass through the course. I'll need to go through the systems again at least once and then the LOD a few times in December to REALLY pass the test, but of course all on my own dime since we will only get paid 1 minute for 3 minutes of what average my group of 5 sets.

Now, if I pass on Thursday.............I'm a headed for Vegas baby, cuz I'll be one lucky dude

Who was that congresswoman or senator to be who made the comment "It is great to be here today with the great unwashed"? Not realizing what that really meant.
