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

Is this verified? I can't imagine they'd drag the sims down here just for an extra year of flying. One of the big reasons I don't want to bid for the 9 is I don't want to spend a month in MSP.

Any idea if/when the 9 sim is actually coming to ATL?

How "High Tech" is the 9 sim? Is it old school, two axis, video visuals?

Or is it a brand new, full motion, computer driven, 3 axis, 6 hydrolic jacks, CGI visuals, etc. like the newer sims? If it's "Old School" they can probably unbolt it, load it on a truck, drive it to ATL and have it installed and up and running in about a week.

So no more PPO Option A starting in 2013. Our healthcare continues to get worse. :mad:

I was told the sim would remain in MSP until Oct when the training from this bid would be complete.

Off topic and not really looking for an answer, but considering that the FA's and other employees all get a uniform allowance that covers most if not all of their uniform costs, shouldn't the company provide the same to pilots? They are always claiming that anything we get has to be given to the FA's, how about this little item? Yes, I just dropped a C-note on new shirts...;)

Oh yeah? Well anyone flying at Delta should know when to pull 'em back without some gay Frenchman yelling "retard, retard, retard" at ya. :p

Now my CA's have to work that much harder.

CA-Back that thrust off.

ME-What? I'm trying to land over here.

CA-If you don't back that thrust off we will never land.

ME-Where is my RETARD que?

CA-My airplane! RETARD!

:D:D

I hope someone is inclined to move that thing down to Atlanta before they close NATCO. That's a real piece of history, and there aren't a whole lot of those things around.

I prefer the Boeing system too. I just don't see why some are scared of the Airbus system.
