Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Fair enough... It was a bit creepy though since I had heard a rumor that the company wants a pre-SOC joint Advanced Displacement... which Buzz denied having heard on the DALPA site.. and now a guy with his ear to the rail asking about moving north. I'm sure you can see why the hair on my neck stood up.

I understand. That is why I responded. I am just doing a little leg work for some options. That is all.

Not sure if that is exactly what is going on.....

Well Ive exhausted my ideas. Guess we will just have to wait. Maybe it was the Virgin Blue JV.

That will be the case if we merge with Air France.

Now on to some other stuff.

What is with this arming VNav at the gate?!! ;)

This is a problem... I brought it up to a DGS guy who did a crossing with us.

Because the 767's auto-transition into CLB power determined by the accel height in the box. It could potentially screw up any sort of NADP profile, especially if you decide to clean up high or are fly best angle until above grid MORA...all bets are off, you'll be constantly speed intervening and trying to fight the box and NOT concentrating on path stuff.

Not a problem if you are flying one fleet type...but we have so much variability between the 757er's and 767's, this could be an issue.
