I still have that Big book, too. I'm glad I kept it. Now, if I could only find a NWA style SOPA/SMAC VOL I for Delta procedures.

I might have to put one together myself, if there isn't one out there.....

I'm pretty sure the KC-10 disliked refueling us even more, with our snail speed. The KC-10 would not let us really fly boom limits without sensing a trend disconnect, and in the 141, if the T Tail ever got up high, it was quite a ride!
If you did boom limits properly, there shouldn't have been a problem. And yes, the KC-10 hates you (130s). Throwing out degrees of flaps and limiting the bank to 15 degrees so it doesn't stall is very painful. But, for the pilots, it is a lot of fun. However the boomers hate you because the slow speed takes away a lot of the boom authority ... which is probably why you got b slapped.

People movers? What do you call those electric carts? The incessant beeping and screams from the drivers are just fine. As Seinfeld said, "Cart People! Everyone move aside for the cart people! If you're too fat, stupid, or old to find your next gate, maybe air travel isn't for you."

Additional lanes between ramps? What? You think the cost of doing that justifies the occasional Ramp 2 to Ramp 1 repo? A Victor loop for the southside would be a much better idea.

JMHO.
I'm sorry I respectfully disagree. Our operation in ATL makes DAL a lot of money, but it also alienates a lot of our customers. Even the management team admits that they over schedule Atlanta. It is the only hub I've been to where I consistently see people running for connections -- EVERYTIME I am there.

Quick question:

Anyone know of a ski resort near SLC that offers decent airline/military rates? Looking to go over the New Year's Eve weekend, just tapping the knowledge of this board.

GJ

P.S. Be nice to find something ski-in/ski-out, or near a lift. thanks to all replies in advance.

If you want a Vol 2 on CD-ROM in color let me know. I can send it tomorrow. Ferd can figure out the install part since he just pecks at a keyboard now days.

If Carl had a copy, your talking test pilot era. No color back then.

cni:

If you're going to be in ATL anytime before training, you might take a look at the Systems Study Guide for the 757/767 available in The Flight Station. Has diagrams, Limits, some Immediate Action Items, etc... It was put together by some ground school Instructors using the old Delta PRM, (Pilot Reference Manual.) For about $34.00, it's a good source for extra 'gouge.'

Good Luck!
