Hey.

T?

There is no way you are a LCA. You have to be hanging out on the fourth floor.

I have come to this conclusion on two facts. First your statement that international scope is the only kind that matters. A true LCA would be traveled enough in touch with the angst on the line with the domestic code share with Alaska.

Second. It's Blitz month. You have posted here every day multiple times. Only possible if you sit in a cubicle and not with your @$$ in a jump seat.

Oh oh,

No pilots were anywhere near this jet when this happened at the TOC.

You are saying "management," not I.
I want to like the 787 because it has a lot of promise, but it doesn't deliver-yet, thus the "pain."

Yup.. you got me.:cool: I have been wondering myself why I haven't been doing more LCs.. I dunno.. I do know that I wish I could get banned from this site so I wouldn't be able to come here.. it's like crack (from what I understand)..

so-or-y... it was just a question... but it does beg the follow on, since "Delta" made the decision to wait on the airplane... who is it that made that decision? Not flaming.. but there is a reason for this line of thought..

But FWIW, I agree with you that it was a good decision to wait until BA makes the better version..

Delta management makes many excellent calls all the time.
Our team is the best network airline management team bar none in the US.

Does that immunize me sufficiently? ;-)

Nope, he's a LCA. I've flown with him. Good captain and a fun guy on the layover, but way too much Tennessee bling.

Which, despite the popular misconception, had nothing to do with the windows the passengers could see through. There were other "windows" for antennas which were internally mounted to avoid their parasitic drag.

The fuselages failed at an escape hatch and a joint where a box had been inserted to internally mount an antenna. The skin was cut too close to the side of the box instead of having the proper overlap. The fact they were running the thing at 8.25 PSI had a lot to do with the failure as well.

Didn't mean any insult... sorry if it came across that way... really.
