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

My dad worked for IBM so I got his old laptop when I went to college.

Only weighed 30 lbs and had a whopping 256k RAM (No Hard Drive). The dot matrix printer killed.

I briefly dated a girl in college who actually had one of those.... in 1995. I think it may have been a newer model. The screen popped up and rotated out, and I know it had a hard drive because there was this strangely addictive game involving gorillas and throwing bananas that shaved at least 0.3 off my GPA.

A little random, but I love the targeted advertising on here. The current ad for me says "fly Delta to Minneapolis" haha! I think they need to work on figuring out their audience a little better.

(PS I just flew into Minneapolis on a different airline :eek:)

I had mine in '86. Graphics?! Don't ever remember seeing graphics on black and amber 9" screen. The original IBM PC had a game (I think it came with the computer) called Zork; all text based, no graphics. If I showed that to my kids they'd probably end up shooting milk out of there noses from laughing so hard at the lameness. I wish my dad had put the money he used to buy those PCs into Apple stock instead.

You need to call the office and have them explain how it works. Its a very complex agreement but what your post is still not correct. This was hashed out on the Dalpa forum a while back but the thread has dropped off and I can't copy it. What your posting was brought up and explained. They can't go to zero zero and then 49.5 percent and all is well.

I have a question for all you RSV experts. I bid RSV for DEC to ensure I got Xmas off. I had some spill credit plus an OE trip already on my schedule for a total credit of 75:30.
I have some RSV days starting on the 7th. Will I have to be on RSV at all for the rest of the month or am I done? Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

In my attempts to "need" to replace my 2007 lappy, I've spilled drinks (adult and family) on it before, sent it down escalators in the airport, and dribbled goodness knows how many crumbs onto it. Stupid thing still keeps trucking.

Check out all these awesome features:

Projected credit includes your reserve available days and will be reduced pro-rata if you were to personal drop, sick, etc. Actual Credit is actually the hard credit you have on you sked for the month (vacation, CQ, actual trips, etc). You are done for the month of reserve (unless you YS) when your actual credit reaches your category's ALV.

Without looking at it, I don't think you'll be off from the 7th on, unless you have a bunch of vacation credit or something like that.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:44 PM.
