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).

Sssshhhhh. I'm trying to scare people away. Time to order my malerone! :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 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.

He only yells "retard" if you don't pull them back. It's a reminder, not a command. You'll learn this when you come to the mighty A330. (and I get to do your OE)

You might have to hang around longer than you wanted for that unfortunately... but that's a deal. :)

Probably! I know, if the throttles don't move, you won't fly it.
