It's to be CAL operating certificate

While I suspect UAL is doing RNAV RNP on the 777 and 767 fleets, are they doing RNAV RNP on the Airbus? What about the 757's? I had heard that they were older models that may have lacked the capability. The rumor was that at UAL the airbus lacks GPS. I hope THAT is incorrect.

FUPM.

It's may make a difference in what cockpit procedures that will generally be carried over to the new merged carrier. While checklists, callouts, flight manual, non-normals, are all FAA approved for both airlines, the procedures may lean towards surviving certificate holder.

Can anyone at Delta lend some insight? On aircraft common to Northwest and Delta, were Delta procedures generally used?

From what I have been told and seen, most everything went the way of the original Delta. Popular opinion of things that took parts from both places, they managed to take the worst of both instead of the best of both, and everyone quotes "because it's the Delta way" Also the only common airplane was the 757-200s.

Mixed fleet. Next time you jump seat on a UAL bus check the chrono clock. If it's a digital unit the aircraft is GPS equipped. Regular old chrono - no GPS.

Well said. Let's let the guys who get paid the big bucks to work in the office with their heads in the books worry about what to do about training UAL guys on CAL aircraft and vice versa. We need to have a unity event or the like and get to know each other and start supporting each other and work towards building some unity among our ranks so we can take advantage of a window of opportunity to get a good contract fairly quickly. We will live under this thing for a decade and our peers will be building off of this contract going forward. We need to take advantage of this time and get things done for this profession.
