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...

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!

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.

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.
And we still have them doing some routes for us, don't we? Like LAX-SAN? (another "west coast market" there is no money in).

I heard they're going to use it for interviews when hiring resumes.

No. The end of the Eagle code-share was announced back in January. It stops April 12.
