Quote: What does Delta send out certified letters for? anything training related?
Is it from DL or the Feds?
Quote: Anybody else hear about a DAL 767 hitting a bad mountain wave this morning? 6000' deviation? A buddy was out flying round the Rockies and dispatch sent them messages about it and ATC was talking about it.

Here ya go.....

That's a heck of a ride... I wouldn't have wanted to have been on that plane.

And did I see buzz say he had an engine out landing this morning? Eeesh!


And is Monday, March 19th the first ever group meet and greet of APC in A-town? (at least knowingly...) Hopefully I'll be able to come out!

Delta! Thank god So that's not standard procedure for anything? I start training in a week with a new base and all which I was displaced to, thought maybe it was related to that.
Quote: I don't own one but that's a good price if you qualify.

S&W has 5R rifling which I think is a plus.

The sports draw backs are:
No chrome lined barrel
No forward assist
No dus cover

It is a great entry level AR but look at the M&P 15T also. You get the thing missing from the sport (except a chrome lined barrel) plus a full rail and fold up front and rear sights.

Good luck with your purchase.
Is the bbl nitrited? If so that's every bit as good as chrome lined and if done right, it'll be far more durable.

I wouldn't sweat the forward assist unless you just want one for old times sake. No dust cover sucks though.

The 1:8 twist is the perfect all around barrel for anything ranging from cheap 55gr ball to 70+ gr high end match.

At that price it looks like a great deal.
I just was looking to book a trip to Stx, it's now a crj 700. That's a 3 hour plus flight. I remember it was either a md88 or a 900 but now a 700?? The 700 is almost like the 200 in the back. Is there a way you can limit scope by length of route too? Do it by may too please.

Thanks...will look at that. That's exactly what I'm considering; an entry level AR.

I agree anywhere with a nice layover or a beach should always be mainline. Even if it is a 30 minute flight.

Gloopy,

The barrel on the M&P's are Melonited. As you said there is nothing wrong with this per se, and the argument can be made that it is more accurate, but a little harder to clean with a little less barrel life. The S&W 5R rifling should also increase accuracy and make cleaning easier as well.

Having the forward assist and the dust cover make going up to the next model an attractive option plus it includes a full picatinny quad rail and MPUS front and rear sights.

However, both are great guns and the sport is a great price.
Hey guys I noticed on the DAL profile page they changed it to say all pilots on furlough bypassed recall and changed the furlough # to read 0? Last time I checked the seniority list we still had about 240 guys showing on there with recall rights. Of course we know they have bypassed but is there something I don't know about, as in have they given up their recall rights? Because if not we still have furloughs right?
