Never heard of Rope Start but its kind of logical for the 200. My favorite one is that the winglets are Engineer deflectors.

Winglets--International sign meaning "no engineers"

Avroman, where have you been? The merger is a done deal and has been completed. We're just piecing together the parts. Delta is now the largest carrier in the world. All that remains is for the FAA to issue a SOC. Aircraft are being painted. Uniforms are being worn. Bidding systems are being integrated.

HA!

In indoc we take a picture by the DC-3 and 767 in the Delta museum at Delta Headquarters and then we go to Stone Mountain to take our picture in front of Lee, Jackson and Davis,



and then we take our picture in front of the General Lee. Here is my picture with my classmates, you can see me there on top of the car, I'm the hot one.






You laugh MSP and DTW pilots, but you too will soon count to three like this: "1, 2, EARNHARDT!"

As to NWA bases, add MSP 7ER and DTW 7ER. I've seen it in the bid packet.

Yeah, some of us noticed that in our bid packages. Now there were no flights listed (makes sense at the moment). We're wondering if the DTW and MSP 757 bases are going to be called 7ER before SOC or is it going to be after SOC.

The reason is... that at Delta South, when they switched the 767 CVG base (domestic) to the 7ER CVG base, they closed the 767 base, displaced everyone then had a the same number of openings for the new 7ER base. Because there were displacements from other aircraft in other bases, not everyone who was in the CVG 767 based made it to the 7ER base.
