I am not sure why it would be "interesting" at all. Why do you care anyway and if can't figure it out, you must be pretty ignorant of the airline labor history over the last 30 years. There are much more important thing facing the pilot population than this issue IMO at least.
Another great post. Thanks and keep them coming. As for the nose down stab trim issue I don't recall anyone ever losing a commercial aircraft, i.e., B707, but there were several wild rides during the early years, most notably the Pan Am 707 over the N. Atlantic that lost thousands of feet during...
Great story. I flew the 1011 for about four years and it's still at the top of my list, maybe even more fun to fly than the B777. As I recall the 1011 with the analog autopilot vs the digital found in some -500's was certified for CATll autoland with an engine out? Something way ahead of it's...
Speaking of sub human..........is that a real picture of you? Sounds like you might be an expert on this subject, sub humans that is. Sorry coudn't resist.
We operate a Twin Otter on floats and at least half of the time it is in salt water. The airplane is very well maintained to the point that the per hour costs for maintenance exceeds the GV, GEX, and B757. Unbelievable what is required to keep the airplane in FAA required, top notch condition...
What ever happened to the good ole days when all you needed to take with was a full flask of your favorite beverage just in case some FA would come over to your room for a little party? What have we become?
It is always hard to paint a realistic picture of the situation by simply looking at a few posts here on a website. What is the opinion of the majority of Delta pilots regarding this issue? Seems that if the majority of the Delta guys/gals felt the way you do, this would cease pretty quickly. Is...
There is an article in the current issue of Air & Space that shows this Boeing abandoned up in Canada somewhere. Flew it out of the US without paying numerous bills.
I seriously doubt that th F/O and F/E are private pilots, unless of course the whole operation is phony. Airplane must be on a...
Most if not all the articles in PP or only good for out-house special occasions. This is the most worthless piece of crap published and the sooner it just goes out of business the better off we will all be.
Show of force?
So I see that Council 44 had a masive turn out for their last council meeting. Something like 73 or 74 pilots out of 2500+ based in ATL. Maybe the only pilots worried about what is happening at Delta are on this board. Good luck!
I am not really familiar with all the nuances of this contract abberation, but I can speak from experience that it takes forever to get a pilot certified as a LCP at Delta and most of this is driven by the FAA's availabilty for checking. Also, as I recall ALPA approved this deviation. I really...
Com-ses
Not sure that I really understnd your question so if my answer turns out sounding dumb, it's not my fault! Just kidding.
I also had a ATP MEL and picked up my float rating via a COM-SES. This ride consisted up the appropriate water work, stalls, steep turns and a few other misc. items...
