Not to mention flooding the northeast with jet fuel drives down the price or in the case of the Sandy storm a few years ago, the opposite is true. Delta has a supply lever they can adjust as necessary.

 

$1.24 and we've still got people refusing to start engines until #2 in line, no APU, ask for directs, ask for opposite direction takeoffs and taxi fast as hell to save fuel. Fly slow even in a headwind to save gas, did you ask to cross at midfield yet? How about that direct? Flaps and slats up until the PLI gets close to setting off the shaker but fly however you want but let's go ahead and pull those flaps back up until the gear comes down.

**** me and evidently **** the passengers I guess? because while we may deprive them of something as important as air flow to save gas how about we make some really long PA's early in the morning and late at night and stand at the door to say goodbye so they know we love them. They probably hate our guts right now. In fact, I hate our guts right now. I'm with them.

And we couldn't save enough fuel in a lifetime to make up of an hour's worth of our fuel hedging loss.

**** me.

Merry Christmas, FTB.

 

Shades of a 64 yr old 777 capt and international FA on layover.....

 

Santa knows when you've been naughty, and he knows when you've been nice!

Hey, he's got to love a Big Girl, keeps him warm in the winter, gives him shade in the summer, and by the looks of her, she swallows... everything!

 

Especially since she looks like a Bama fan.

 

What gave it away?

Was it her Tide Rolls?
