Since we're posting pictures of cars, I seriously took this one in the parking lot in ATL. Wonder who it belongs too?



And to keep this on topic, none of what i just wrote was from Deltanet. I did not copy, reproduce or forward any content from DeltaNet outside of Delta Air Lines, including posting on any personal or public Web pages, blogs, or social media sites, including, but not limited to Flyertalk, Facebook, or Twitter... or any other website full of low lifes.

WestJet has made breaking into the New York market a priority since it failed to make a go of it in its early years. The Calgary-based carrier said it aims to lean on its U.S. partners now, American Airlines and Delta, to make a success of regular service to New York from places like Toronto.

Wha? No Alaska?

Several years ago I realized it was stupid to drive this thing around doing errands, etc. Now it only gets driven when I need its towing or hauling capabilities so it should last a long time.

I really like the truck and I can't get another like it as you can no longer get a manual transmission in a Diesel Super Duty!
You guys need to step up the the cummins...... Granted the dodge chassis isn't up to the Ford but as far as engines go neither the Duramax or powerstroke hold up like a cummins. You can make over 1300 RWHP on the stoke block, crank, rods, and pistons with a 5.9 cummins, try that with the other two!

Well T...

I'm a motorhead and thoroughly enjoy discussions about cars, boats, snowmobiles, trucks, etc.

I honestly couldn't give a rat's a** about college football, but I haven't complained as you've gone on-and-on about University of Tennessee football.

I find the thread's diversity interesting...

I agree the Cummins is the champ and Dodge should get credit for that... I'm just not a Dodge guy. The closest Dodge dealer is less than optimal, Ford had Z plan pricing for Delta employees, and zero percent financing on an ordered truck when I got mine.

And to keep it (sort-of) on topic... Parking a long bed, crew cab, lifted 4 x 4 pickup in the employee parking lot is a challenge.

Note that it has damage from a rear end collision.

I have another question about the AE, am I correct in that pilots with an MD are trained in inverse seniority order for that category only? For example someone senior to me with an MD to NY ER could be trained before me, going to the DC9? I really hope so. Not looking forward to switching airplanes. It seems it would be a waste of money to train pilots on an airplane they plan to get rid of.
