Of course that only works for LAX.... tack on another couple hours for SNA.

I've used the PCH on several occasions for LAX. Problem is for 73 guys, the majority of our flying has shifted south to SNA. I'm hoping they open up BUR. That would be a breeze for me.

I would also think DTW 777 will build up a bit more since there will be 3 daily (or almost daily) 777 flights to HKG, ICN, and PVG, and I think the last bid had 38 Capts and FOs? I think the CVG ER group will be displaced on this one too. Good luck to all involved!

Yes, that's what I understood. The 50 crews sounded like a start, would eventually grow bigger but I don't think anyone knows how big.

Yep, 50 was what I was told too. Maybe an increase in the DTW 777 too. Things change though....

Quick question......

I got all my MD88 training material but the IQST disc is only windows based, does DAL have a mac version? If not how do they expect guys who do not own a pc to complete the training?

(And please don't say buy a pc or run windows on your mac).

Thanks

Yeah this has been out there...but I believe it's regarding a company that's developed a host of aerodynamic changes to the -50, including a flat tailcone similar to the -88/-90. It's the same company that just finished testing a stage 4 modification on the JT8D-217/19 for the MD-88 that supposedly lowers op costs beyond 5%.

I haven't read anything where Delta is going forward with the -50 improvements. To me it would make more sense to invest in the kits for the -88's if they're heading in that direction...

Your MAC should be able to run a PC cd. Just start it in the PC mode.

How is it there are so many trips in Open time for the NYC 737B all spread out over the month. Should they have been able to make two or three more regular lines with all that?
