Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
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...

Having 10 years of bus experience and working towards 4 years on a Boeing with AT, I personally prefer the Boeing flavor of the thrust levers moving...... But what I really prefer is the immediate ability to just grab and move/hold the levers if the thrust isn't exactly where I want it.

Maybe this was back in my prop days but remember when an engine or prop runaway meant you needed to look at the gauges and not necessarily react to what you're feet were feeling? As in your good engine is the one that feels dead? I still do that when I see a throttle split with auto throttles on. Look at the gauges. Flew with someone once who freaked and just matched the low to the high, to which you have to ask, how did you know that was the bad one?
Of course speaking of auto throttles... "n2 at cruise varied between 77 and 82% n2..." "auto throttled forwarded to MEL." really?
The eagle code was one way to say we can't go after rah as a scope violation because while yes Rah owns DCI carriers under the same umbrella as Frontier, we never did anything about Eagle which is owned by AMR and blah blah blah. Get rid of em all, simplist solution.
Although go to Delta.com/investors and grab an annual report and keyword search American Eagle. It'll explain how their code worked vs a regular DCI.
