So it looks like that mike has stuck his foot in his mouth pretty good with this one.

I isolated when this took place to sometime Friday morning. Alaska had more delayed flights then DL- some up to 2 hours delayed, but most DL and AS flights were on time or early. It looks like the DL 737s he was talking about took off a bit late but still made it within A14.

How's that foot in your mouth taste?

(trying to start an airline on airline peeing contest like you did to start this thread is absolutely pathetic, by the way)

Who cares about all this on time performance, HUD and take off alternate BS. Soon we at Alaska will be wearing our hats and it will be good night Delta. Soon you will leave Seattle, Brad and Gary will get huge bonuses, and we will get 4 positive space travel passes and all will be back to normal.

Go Seahawks!!!!

I do go there sometimes. Unfortunetly.

Well goodnight y'all. It's been fun. Sleep well and don't worry. I'm sure Delta will get it together eventually. They are a competent Air Line. They could even be great some day. Hey! Stranger things have happened.

You should sip the Kool-Aid rather than chug it. That way it'll last longer.

Virtually identical distribution on Thursday, too. You do realize there are records of this stuff that are easy to find, right?

I don't think anyone should ever takeoff using a takeoff alternate that is not legal.

Go back and look, did these Delta 737s crash and we didn't notice?

Mike,

Why should we, the line guys give one another crap for following company guidelines, as if we ourselves wrote them?

AS has some nice accomplishments, which you should be proud of. Sorry you feel the need to belittle your fellow aviators for pathetically pulling off to the side in order to follow their company ops specs. Am sure if the WX affects enough flights DL will adjust its ops specs to accommodate.

Respectfully
