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

LGA $3.6B terminal expansion... for the other airlines.

Evidently, according to this picture, we'll run into the buildings when using the taxiways.

First, we bulldoze all but the main terminal building, no more arms/legs/extensions and jetways. Now let the airlines fight for the few gates that are left.

You don't need to bulldoze anything, just spend a couple billion to shift 13/31, Alpha, Bravo, and all the spur taxiways about 30 feet to the North. Then you have room to build 4 or 5 new gates to handle expansion well into the 21st century. It's shovel ready.

Then bulldoze everything on the south side of Grand Central Parkway to Astoria Blvd. We can use that to build a grand terminal and parking area. Sadly for RJs, but just maybe one day mainline jets!!!!!!

Or, we extend 31 and 4 onto Riker's Island (each 11,000' without knocking down any houses), build a brand new terminal there (Call it the Commander Riker New York Intergalactic Airport), and move all the brick and barbed wire from the island to Astoria Blvd. and build a wicked tall wall. That's where we put the convicts, and we can put Snake Plissken in charge.

Don't want to see pics in the cockpit, don't remove inspection panels/plates looking for them. As far as under/top/side boob, give me a break. The Macy's circular in the Sunday paper shows more.

Here, here!! Was saddened by some of the utter lameness I read prior to this post. Sheez....well, better leave it at that.

Google calendar/iPhone

First of all, I am for any kind of boob. Side, under, silhouette, you name it. It is a sad day when a mod ruins that. Obviously wasn't in the Navy. Ocasionally my wife will look over and see one of the fine pictures and make a comment.

The single word response of "pilots" is all she needs.

MOST importantly. How do you all transport your schedules to google calendar and to the iPhone?

Saw a discussion on it some time ago and I think it was on this board.

Help the tech cripple, please.
