I guess those lightning strips worked as advertised then. Glad they got it on the ground safely.

What did ** or whatever his name is make up about the diverter strips you think is "advertising"?

How does the uniform allowance thing work? Do I just go to a stop over store after January 1st and select items from crew outfitters and tell them my employee number or something?

it was pretty cappy up here in the northeast. Currently stranded in BGR. Flew it in last night for a high mins capt. Was right at mins and xwind. Runway code 2/2/2. We had st. Elmos fire on descent in too.

That is correct. If you have any unused from 2016 you can't touch that until midway through January due to counting or inventory or something.

Good time to buy a nice lightweight EFB case to bid farewell to the flight case. Now where do my stickers go?

Speaking of uniform allowance, I don't want to get that heavy luggage works. Does anyone use the Aurora Elite 22? Stealth Air 22? Executive 22?

Do what I did and put them on your flight jacket.

No no put them on top of your hat

Luggage Works Executive Aviator 22" Rolling Bag

I love it! Much cheaper and a hell of a lot lighter. I've had the steel frame version and I think this one with the plastic frame holds up just as well.

I use the stealth air 22". Haven't had any issues with it yet and I've had it for 2 years. Holds everything I need for a 5 day trip. I hear the plastic frame is just as good but I'd go for the metal especially if you're commuting. With DL overselling flights or being full most of the time you'll check your bag a fair amount as a commuter.
