After most, if not all mayor airline mergers there has been a mayor accident...DL + NW is no exception....there are just too many distractions...base closures, pay cuts, downgrades, procedural changes, consolidated computer systems, furloughs imminent, insurance changes..etc etc

You need to compartmentalize all of this stuff. All of the professionals I am flying with do that. In fact the merger is almost never discussed enroute.

3. Refills are forever free after that. $0.52 cent charge becomes $0.00 when you present your registered Starbucks card to the cashier.
4. Lifespan of reused cup is 4-5 refills. When cup deteriorates and develops heavy leak, request new cup, pour contents of leaking cup into new cup, and begin cycle at step #2.
Discuss pros and cons to stay awake during long flights.
But hey, I'm living in a van and have time to kill on APC attempting to encourage total strangers to crack a smile....

My view on things is: These things come in threes, watch your six tomorrow everyone

If you're not flying PM me your resume and lets at least get you a flying gig. Whatever we find might not be great but there's stuff out there.

Am I the only person who actually has guard up and listens to it?
I routinely hear stuff and react to it and the other pilots look at me like I'm crazy. Then I tell them what I heard and their first reaction is to turn up guard.
