Hear they are threatening if we don't give them the RNP stuff .. Feds won't give them the lower LDA mins either ...

Even if Alaska handed over the approaches, Delta needs approval from the FAA to use those approaches. Which also means they need a tailored training program. So suing Alaska seems pretty unrealistic.
 
Yeah, I guess DL has never done them, except into the old Quito airport with volcanos all around down a valley and landing at 10,000 ft MSL.... No biggie.... Even with a language barrier too....

Get over yourselves Eskimos! They've been doing RNP approaches for years in training too. I bet DL knows what to do, and gave themselves enough time to do it.....

I assume that's a special qual airport ? As JNU prob would be .. So .. sea is not a delta 737 base .. Are they going to pre position pilots in Seattle .. To do 1 flight a day ? Like they did to hall the Hawks home !?!?!

Forgot you're the only sky gods out there.......well maybe before your new hires in 2008 and since you might of been but now it's just a shining example Obama would be proud of!! Equality for all even if you're not equal that's the DAL way today, so sad.

Pretty scary stuff!

I don't think anyone is saying Delta pilots are less skilled then Alaska pilots. What is being said is JNU requires all the approaches and special procedures that Alaska has developed over the years. Yes, even in summer, (but to a lesser extent depending on the year).

Oh, and yes some of the locals are going to be excited by having another carrier flying into JNU that will possibly lower ticket prices. What consumer wouldn't like that. It doesn't mean that they will be choosing the other carrier if prices are similar. I think all of the locals respect and appreciate the product and service Alaska provides year round.

SLC has a 737 base, as does LA. I guess I didn't get your poor attempt at a jab. We can see the Hawks didn't need your services, and it's good DL did the right thing for the pilots and the rules, even during an important charter. At least you guys are the official carrier for the Kodiak St. debate team. Oh wait, Horizon took that over for you guys too.... Oooooops...

Never said that, but I was responding to the guy stating DL would have to set up an RNP program. Well, it's been ongoing during recurrent training for years, and used in the "real world" in the "third world" called Quito, Ecuador. There are plenty of tough approaches out there all over the World. Throw bad WX into the equation with a language barrier on top of that, and that could be a lot tougher than doing the JNU approach every week. Worldwide ops, not every airline can claim that, and that means a lot of smart people trying to figure out better ways to fly all around the World.

General, seems like I remember a year or so ago, you told everyone that you were going to be nicer and change your ways. That lasted about two months.
 
How can you sue someone to compel them to hand over a privately owned approach? That's like trying to sue general lee because he won't teach me how to be a gigantic dbag..I don't want to be a regular dbag..I want to be a general sized dbag!

I personally would be more proud of being the official carrier of the Kodiak St debate team over being the official sponsor of a professional sports team in an attempt to claim being the "local home town airline". I like a lot of our employees are proud of our product and relationship we have with the communities we fly to.

Yet it took little old Alaska to INVENT RNP and be the first to use a HUD among other things. Wow, just think what we could do if we had worldwide ops and smart people to figuring these things out. I guess then we could just resort to using our weight to push the little guy around and then sue them for not letting us play with their toys. Sound familiar?
 
I know it is an anonymous message board, but I would feel much better if GLee could give us some proof that he is indeed a pilot for DAL. The more of his posts that I read, the more I am in doubt.

Too bad you will never do one, your meds preclude you from holding even a Student Pilot certificate, keep trying even you, needs some hope, that the pilot shortage will drive the Feds to allow morbidly obese zit farmers a shot at the big game.
I doubt you will fit in an RJ though...

Didn't somebody post a picture of GL here a couple of months ago? I can't remember whether it was real or a joke...

Yet *another* possibly great thread going down the sh!tter in less than two pages!

While we're at it, let's have proof you are a pilot too. And proof for every other poster on here.

That is the whole reason for Genitals schtick..It is anonymous, and he is no pilot. He jumps back and forth between here and airliners.net

I had an entire post about this, which he cried loud enough to the mods to make it "vanish". I don't know what is worse, him, or the people here who honestly believe he flies for Delta.
 
Obviously you don't fly for Delta or have been in the crew rooms. I fly almost exclusively 2007-2010 hires on the 88. I've been a CAPT. since Jan 2008 and to the best of my recollection have flown with 7 non Caucasian males. Every single one was equally as qualified as the Caucasian males I've flown with. As a commuter I spend more time than I care to admit in the pilot lounge and it is overwhelmingly white males. Now, like any airline there probably are a few that got in based more on pigment or plumbing, but that is the rare exception. Don't make this sound like UAL of the late 80s early 90s when President Obama was still in college. Sounds like you didn't get the invite or if you did, didn't make the cut. Now with that said, GL is just baiting y'all and you keep falling for it.

Quit being so defensive. A couple of your guys invented something very useful to the whole industry. That's great! Now another bigger carrier wants to fly to Juneau. Deal with it.
