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

Hey, don't be hating on Foster the People. Love that group. Besides, saw an interview with them and the song was written to oppose bullying and illustrate just how tragic and uncalled for events like Columbine are.

LOL my 4-years old is singing Pumped up Kicks in the bathtub, luckily he has a slightly different interpretation of the lyrics...

Its a great tune!
I even like the dubstep remix...

Cheers
George

If you went to NYC you'd be holding a line. I think you held one in ATL in Feb too. ;) With the increase in MD88/90 block hours you'll easily hold a line in MSP. Your seniority has held a line on the DC9 since before the merger. ;)

That being said, I will also say its very tough and almost impossible to chase a line holding position. Things just move too fast right now.

Oh there you go again managing expectations. How dare you blatantly do managements bidding while collecting full flight pay loss. Oh its FTB, nevermind.:D

This is the FO comparison adjusted for inflation.

I know the type is small but use CTRL+ and CTRL- to zoom in and out. Works great. When Jesse posts one of those "stimulus packages", you know, the type that isn't good for your personal economy, you can use CTRL+ there too. :D

You could cry yourself to sleep, or you could stay up all night freaked out.

Lets do the latter.

Nobody picked up on this the other night. Look at this photo.

Something is staring you right in the face.... and it looks ****ed off... tilting your screen up or down may help you find it... CTRL+ can too but thats your loss...

Got respect for the ol' corps, but that doesn't mean it can't be worse than what was previously experienced.

In my case I'll reach the 60% percentile (about my earliest point to make it to the left seat) after 15 years with the company.

Yeah, I will be at 65% after 21 years with the company. Funny how they told me I would be a DC9 captain in less than 4 years when I was hired and then when I came back from furlough, they told us that they didn't have enough people bidding DC9 Captain and that we need to be ready to upgrade. :rolleyes:
