Is that the same "general jet engines and high altitude flying" test that ...
The flow was through the boost pumps and past a low-pressure sensor, through two check valves, and finally through the engine fuel shutoff valve. There is a boost pump bypass valve which allows fuel to be drawn from the tank by the engine pumps even if all boost pumps are off. Fuel flow is the same for tanks 1 and 3 except that they have two boost pumps each instead of four. There are standpipes to keep you from pumping below 2,300 pounds and the crossfeeds need to be closed if you have the dump valves open, right?
So lets say we need to dump 12,000 pounds and ...
727 Fuel dumping problems were still on the test in 2007.
Now lets talk about LEMAC and then we're talking about F4's.

Don't want to argue about it. It is what it is, and it is funny.

Sorry, I don't buy it. The very senior Delta Captains don't even know who/what Pinnacle/Endeavor is, they wouldn't care or remember the name of the airline of said pilot. Even if someone did say something even remotely similar to this it would be like playing the telephone game, the message that went into the ear of the first person would be totally different than the message coming out of the mouth of the person at the end of the line. Besides, maybe it was one of the 80 something flow eligible pilots who do essentially have a seniority number, remember there is a guaranteed flow also.

I have heard it from 9E guys, also a Delta CA I know has told me hes heard things from JSers to imply they already had a job. Hell, I was on the employee bus one day and heard this 9E Ca telling some FA how they already "pretty much" have jobs its just a quick 15 min. HR chat.
