DAL to Nairobi....

[General Lee]

Ok, when I google meladrone I get some like to some link to some artist/or fan site.

But when I google MALARONE, I get a better defined explanation.
Seems like the General's expertise on malaria protection is about as good as his expertise on the Delta contract.

Obviously I don't have to go to Africa, so I don't use MALARONE. But thanks for checkin! Hey, any chance you can find me some good MAKARONI around here?

Been to several cities on the Dark Continent and they were all wonderful places NOT to visit. I have been to a few places that were OK but I'll skip the OK to misss the really bad....

 

[Kharma Police]

That's Delta's get-out-of-an-OJI drug the Lawyers told them to issue.....no worries though, it kills your liver quick and dirty. No Malaria, but you need dialysis by the time you are 50.

Are you guys required to have the shots by Delta or for entry requirements? If you refuse, are you exempt from flying them? Those trips seem like they would be fun to try maybe once or twice.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

The only shot required is the yellow fever shot. Malarone is purely voluntary usage. You have to start the treatment 2 days ahead of time and stop 2 days after I believe, so if a guy is on a trip and gets rerouted into it, he has rights of refusal. If you are on reserve, be ready for it. It is given out for free at Delta clinics and approved pharmacies.

Rumor I heard was if you catch it and try to file an OJI, the first question asked was "are you on the Malarone? and if so where did you fill the prescription?"

I think they give us a cut rate on all the other shots at the clinics....(Hep A, B, oral polio, etc.) I know my yellow shot card was full in a former life when I traveled down there.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Oh come on, quit being so dramatic. I don't want anything bad to happen to Delta, I just don't have to fly to Africa. Delta Security and the TSA monitor what's going on over there, hence why the TSA hasn't allowed Delta to start service to some of those places. So, If you are junior and bid the ER in NYC or ATL, you might have to go there, be prepared, end of story.

General,

No drama here, you supply enough on FI to go around. The truth of the matter is that if you trust Delta Corp. Security to watch your six, then why did the glacier-like speed of the US Government and it's Intelligence people put a stop to it at the 11th hour while Delta was even SELLING TICKETS? Corp. Security was all gung-ho (because Marketing said to keep quiet) and cleared this thing to go......

Again, not drama, reality. I became very intimate with Corp. Security after an event last year and my confidence has slipped that they got it all together.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Um, what's meladrone?

Good Catch Scope.....

I missed that one and started a diatribe on the Malaria drug....guess my Pharmacy career is on hold.

Hi!

Malarone is probably a good idea if you are going to a high Malarial area for a short trip (NOT trips). It is NOT good to take it long term!!!
So, if you are a DAL guy, I would STRONGLY recc. NOT taking Malarone, unless its for one trip to Africa on holiday, in a high-malarial area. (NBO is not a high malarial area).
Here in Africa, Malaria is common and is normally treated easily and quickly for those of us with access to decent local health care. If you have been to a malarial area, and you are back in Europe/US with strange symptoms, tell the docs to do a MALARIA TEST FIRST! Then move on to other tests/treatment options. Many health care providers in Euro/US don't think to check for malaria, and it CAN cause a problem if a serious case is left untreated.

All that seniority, and you still don't even know your own contract.
As long as you stay consistent with the misinformation...

Yeah, senior people know the contract best! Just ask any widebody Captain. Wow, you are smart. Now, go take your malarone, junior, and keep reading that contract while on the toilet.

True Bill, I don't only trust them for total security. But, they do seem to have a pretty good idea of what is happening around the world, and will work with you if you have a problem. And, the TSA showed that they also have an idea by blocking new routes if they deemed it unsafe, something I didn't even know they could do. Nothing is perfect, but we don't fly into known war zones (unless certain MAC flights without layovers I would bet)and stay at unsecure hotels, like other airlines out there.

Currently, KLM, BA, Swiss Air, and Virgin Atlantic are the only European/Western carriers serving HKJK(NBO). The rest are carriers from the Middle East and Africa.

In 2003, it was estimated that BA alone provided Kenyan Tourism about $2.2 million/day in revenue by bringing plane-loads of tourists from the UK, Europe and US.

After the US Embassy bombings in 1998 and since Gulf War II, those numbers have decreased due to attacks on western expats. In country flying is restricted from Lamu to Mandera to Moyale, (unless you are running miraa (khat)), major towns along or near the Somali and Ethiopian borders. Must have police permissions to operate there.

BTW, You can by an AK-47 (Chinese made) in Nairobi for $12. Nairobi is relatively safe in the day for wazungu (white people) if you know where you are going, but it is dangerous at night.

All that wit to go with it. Isn't it amazing how tough you are behind the safety of a computer keyboard!
I'm sure there are many of wide body captains who have you on their no fly list. But then again, with all the time you spend masturbating on your computer, you're probably easy to avoid on a layover!

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

UH-OH......

Ok you two...I sense a rift amongst our Delta ranks.....Can't we go back to the good old days of calling CRJ567 a nickel whore, or jumping on Gup and his Lubbock layovers, or even telling TankerA$$clown to go and get us more coffee??

C'mon guys.....Can't we all just get along??

BTW....Mesa Sucks....

Are you even a DL pilot? Captains CAN'T put FOs on a no-fly list. You didn't know that? I guess you are the one who doesn't know the rules or contract. And I would have to say that most Captains think I am hillarious and we usually go out to dinner on European layovers. You, probably not, since you are most likely ordering some pay per view X rated stuff from your hotel room alone. Enjoy that Sally!

No dumbass, the question is are YOU a DL pilot? You have no idea what seems to be going on there, and can't even make sense of the contract you fly. You give out more misinformation and claim it as fact, when in FACT you are wrong MOST of the time!

Captains CAN'T put FOs on a no-fly list. You didn't know that?

I was speaking hypothetically, you know, kind of like you do when you claim to KNOW your (supposed) contract.

I guess you are the one who doesn't know the rules or contract. And I would have to say that most Captains think I am hillarious and we usually go out to dinner on European layovers.

And yet with all that time you "claim" to spend in Europe on your fabulous layovers, you're spending more time whacking off on your computer spewing out more than 13000 posts of complete misinformation.

You, probably not, since you are most likely ordering some pay per view X rated stuff from your hotel room alone. Enjoy that Sally!

Enjoy the tough talk mini mouse! I'm sure one of the few names I read in the overhead about being doosh bags are yours. Next time when on that FANTASTIC layover try not spending all your hard earned money on those male hookers......:smash::blush:

I have been on this site for YEARS. I enjoy it too. What is wrong with doing something that you enjoy? I have other interests and hobbies too, but I actually enjoy aviation debate, and I win most of the time. It is natural for me.
