Scambo, some of the news reports indicated the refinery is going for 100 million or what we invested on GOL.

Actually, all of those airplanes are parked. #5 had a MX guy recently fire up the aux hydraulic pump. Its flaps will look like the others in just a few minutes.

I'm thinking that is about the same as my share of last weeks megamillions
I'm thinking 100M is a high number. It might be the all in cost with all upgrades, epa issues and licences, etc, but may be high even with all that.

Funny thing, millions, when you forget all the zeros, you can lose millions. My AFB spent $3.4M to redo/rebuild the front gate. Top dollar guilty as charged bid that I could have even mustered with 100% profit was $440K. It took the contractor 13 months to do a 1 month job. Gotta watch those zeros.

However, an outsider doesn't talk the same language and focus on the same stuff as a regular line pilot would and after a few posts it becomes painfully obvious.

Anyways, congratulations Padre11%, you've made that list. Thanks for spending time with us but I think your time is better spent figuring out how you're going to ask that one special girl that will appreciate your indepth knowledge of all things Delta to the McIntosh High School senior prom in Peachtree City.
DARN - I was too late today to be the first one to IGNORE HIM.

It makes me wonder when I see a pic of an F-18 sitting there with the flaps down... do they droop too? Is it a MD thing?



I had a little maintenance action going on the other night, got to see the slats and flaps in the landing config position during the walk around and man that little wing is huge with those slats and flaps out.

I think ftb had something to do with the latest Crew Resources update. It says "THE DC9's."

What gives with the delayed hiring, bro? Why you gotta hate?

My guess is that management likes the stagnation and no glimmer of hope so when they try and pass off a scope sale for the 717s(or some other carrot) and a hiring spree we are so starved for movement we vote yes.
