I'm Going To The 767ER

[General Lee]

I didn't know Delta had first class?

Domestically they do, but on INTL flights it is called Business Elite. Thanks for the correction.

What are the reserve rules on the ER?

Just had a nightmare flying a 767 300. It is a great airplane but I only flew it once a year or so. I flew to Brazil with two great FO's who had been down there a lot and showed me how little I knew about flying in south america. I am now retired but had this nightmare that I had to figure out the flight plan and was having problems. I thought getting on the computer would get me out of the dream. Never mind. Good night. All I remember is you can dump fuel and it taxies kind of weird. Oh yes, and flair higher than the 757. Ouch.

That's funny. Have you ever been in a 767-300ER cockpit? A lot of room to do jumping jacks if you wanted to. We also have atleast 3 pilots on the longer flights over 8 hours, and that means one is back in first class watching a movie, eating a first class meal that is provided via the contract, or just sleeping. Massive boredom? I can never get bored of the girls in Rio, or the Louvre museum. How about eating gelato at the Spanish Steps in Rome and then watching people at the Trevi fountain? I guess you have never been to any of those places. If you have to go away on a 3 day trip, you would rather go to ELP than Rome. (Italy, not Rome, NY) Priceless. Do you really have hemorroids?

I can see all those stinkin places from the comfort of my living room on DVD without all the hassle of going intl. At least in ELP they have great mexican food and nobody is trying to kill ya!

Hot, no trees, nothing but mexicans, and one of the largest drug wars going on across the dried up river! Great spot! I can always tell when someone is jealous! Thanks for showing me I was right!

Fatigue, Leg thrombosis, dehydration, massive boredom, hemorrhoids you can have it. Flying outside of the US...Priceless ;-)

Thats funny! Every single Delta Captain I have flown with have told me it was some of the best flying they have ever done! I guess every pilot has their own idea of the dream job! I have always dreamed of doing what I am about to do! You have always dreamed of flying for the minor's into and out of Fort Smith! That is ok to! To each his own!

who cares?????

I DO!

 

[acarpe3448]

Good for you Acarpe. You will love it. Talk about variety. No more 3 leg days for you. A max of 2, and you are done, with a first class meal too.


Bye Bye--General Lee

It was the 5 leg days that really got me!

I felt safer doing layovers in the Middle East than I did in OAK.
