717's to DELTA
This discussion is unbecoming of the fine pilots at both Delta and Southwest. -
191 Early Out retirement takers at DL
You guys are too focused on rhetoric to have a rational discussion. You choose to point to a very small sliver of our capitalist system to justify dismantling the whole thing. There are crooks in every endeavour and corporate America is no exception. Do we strip everyone's right to bear arms... -
191 Early Out retirement takers at DL
You say: But then you say: This is so outwardly false. You are clearly listening to someone with an agenda. FACT: The top 10% of income earners pay over 71% of federal taxes. The top 1% pay 40% If your assertion that a person in those categories is "paying rates approaching zero" how do... -

191 Early Out retirement takers at DL
Where are your statistics backing up your claim that the "Job creators" aren't reinvesting? Let me dissect my own "delusions". Do you comprehend what a "personal account" is? Lets stipulate you are correct and these people are putting their money in "personal accounts" and "offshore". Does that... -

Do you guys realize how foolish your arguments are? Marginal tax rates tax the "next dollar earned" - lets agree on the fundamentals. Your assessment of how we are taxed is mostly correct. However - in your rich loathing dogma ideology - you fail to see how damaging those tax conditions are to... -
Delta TA on SCOPE
He may be right about the crap trips on the 717 - who knows? During my time flying the -900 it was common to do two legs a day, and almost never more than three. In fact, I do more legs on average flying the A320/319 now than I did flying the -900. The fact is the long range capability of... -
Delta TA on SCOPE
76 seat RJ's are not "feed" any more than DC9-10/15s and 737-100/200s were "feed". The difference is these 76 seaters can do 4+ hour legs. You cant tell me that taking passengers from SLC-ORD or JFK-IAH is "feed". Even if I were to stipulate that these new jets are "feed" - wasnt this "feed"... -
Delta TA on SCOPE
I think you're right about control. I have been pondering the pros/cons of continuing the outsource game from DAL management's perspective and wonder this: In 5 years time, WHO will be flying the new 76 seaters? Have any of you been to your local municipal airport lately? Most flight training... -
MKE Incident... first it was Pinnacle, now it's Mesaba
Shimmy damper, etc. 929 is, in fact, a -900. And there is, in fact, a "shimmy damper" installed on the main landing gear. If a main gear -in fact- cannot shimmy... then one wonders why they would install such a worthless paperweight to an otherwise uncluttered maingear assembly? :confused... -

Something Big at DELTA
Is the 7ER rumor for newhires true? If so, what base is likely? -
Sleepy NWA pilots?
Could be. If they start filing airplanes to DTW via SKETR3 arrival to MSP thence 072 heading dead reckon 150 MI direct. I could see it. -
Sleepy NWA pilots?
Agreed. They should be embarrased a bunch of dim-wit legislators are now doing their job for them. I will conceed its a bit scary that the FAA knows about the problem and refuses to do anything, and the congress knows absolutely nothing and is acting swiftly. -
Sleepy NWA pilots?
http://wcco.com/travel/flight.overshoots.airport.2.1265004.html Didnt see this one coming. -
Sleepy NWA pilots?
I think they reported that based on the Flight/Gate status on NWA.com. NWA.com was reporting the delay based on a late departure from SAN, probably due to an EDCT from traffic congestion in MSP. -

Delta lands on M in the ATL
Its possible. But they stayed at the same altitude, airspeed, and heading after the last fix on that arrival. Why would they continue AWAY from their destination at cruise speed? Also look at arrivals at that same time. Most held at a fix on their arrival. Some went straight in. None were... -

House Passes Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009
While I could not agree more with your premise, I still believe this is an imperfect step in the right direction. It's no secret you can take a fresh private pilot and give them 20 hours dual in a CRJ sim, and they could pass a SIC checkride. It's also no secret that the physical manipulation of... -
Delta lands on M in the ATL
They didnt start their descent or slow down until they "woke up" either. If they were on an atc assigned delayed vector for traffic saturation, I dont know a single crew in the world that would continue trucking at cruise speed AWAY from their destination. No doubt this will be a media frenzy... -
