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

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.

It will never match what Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (representative of the district including the Johnson Space Center) asked at a hearing. When NASA reps were there testifying and showing video of one of the Mars rovers, Ms Lee asked: "Can we drive that thing over to where Neil Armstrong landed?"

That'd be one hell of a drive...

Behold a revelation of the righteous Dude, given by ACL65 to the angels newly hired. After the 11th month, it is prophesied a large number of pilots following an east star up I-20 towards the New City, Atlanta, forcing from their midst natives who await selection amongst the favored few to commute to a metropolis containing a large park in its midst. These unfortunates, beholden to duty in a Garden State where no gardens exist, surely lament assignment before the dawn.

I'm not sure why I got that but I think I did.

Maybe, but it doesn't have that Pavolvian zing as "ding, you're now free to blah blah blah".

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

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

That'll be $745.

There will be no loss of training capacity with the simulator move. Two simulators have already been contracted out to cover the two that will be down.

I really like congressman Hank Johnson from GA worried that Guam would tip over and capsize if we move more marines to the island. :rolleyes:

I dig it!
