Delta Operational Procedures Amplified (DOPA)

[Diesel-9]

Coming out in September. Anyone have any info? Sounds like SOPA/SMAC is coming, under a new name of course. Doubt D.O.P.A. will stand.

Seriously? Won't matter if the sim instructors keep teaching contrary to Vol. 1 normal procedures. IE: "That's not the way its done on the line" WTF? Change the book then.

Hey, feel lucky to be remembered as one of the last to go thru the pre-historic schoolhouse.

Yes, I have heard of it. Sounds like there will be many changes within Flight Ops going forward. Not sure if this was approved yet though.

I hope this is true. Delta is the least standard of any airline I have flown for. I don't understand the "big box" mentality. It creates ambiguity where there should be none, and gives us more rope to hang ourselves with.

They should adopt the Song manual and do away with both DL and NW. It's for the best.

So, how many AirTran guys are senior to you? Give me an approximate number. Is Ty senior to you?


Bye Bye---General Lee

It is a rather unfortunate acronym.

Of course, they could have called it Delta Operational Procedures, Enhanced and been even more to the point.


C'mon fellas, lighten up....

Aren't you just a little bit jealous that those former Airtran guys are going to make more than you Genital? Man, that's got to hurt after all the years thinking they were below you. Maybe you can ask them for a loan.


Oh, the IRONY!

Not sure what that has to do with Song though.

Apparently NWA was very rigid and standard in their procedures whereas Delta is more of a just "get er done" mentality. Probably somewhere in the middle is where we wanna be.

I might be the only one, but mark me down as a former north guy that prefers the "south" way.
