Delta hiring freeze?

[ACL65PILOT]

I have no issue with that. Yeah some days it does suck, but I can tell you. I will take a few cat naps and a 15 hr flt any day over a 16 hr duty day in and out of ATL socked with delays.

That could be the most ignorant thing I have ever read, this from someone who doesn't fly above FL180 and lives in the back woods. And, you really have no clue if I have any kids or not. Maybe my wife just had one, maybe she didn't. You never know. I actually get more time at home flying 3 day trips worth 20 or more hours, and I can do them back to back, since there is no 30 and 7 rule in INTL flying. Get educated my friend, and set the altimeter to 29.92 passing 18,000 ft (FL180).

Bye Bye--General Lee

Touch a nerve? Come on General you know you don't have any kids. Hell, how could you? Anyone that has kids wouldn't have time for 9,620 Post on FlightInfo.

Don't live in the back woods remember. I've got a house on the water with a dock.

Wouldn't it be passing 17,999 feet?

You know he ordered his wife online from Russia with love, right?

Actually Kiev, Ukrane(we fly there and Moscow). Really, INTL flying and the option to go back to domestic anytime you want is a good thing. You and Wsurf will have to have a beer at the Tiki Hut at HHH and talk about how much fun it is to fly to Tri-Cities.

Bye Bye--General Lee

No, I just love hearing "a layover is a layover" from a guy who has crappy layovers. (except the Tiki Hut HHH) Maybe you have a couple more favorites, like the Pizza Hut in Fayetteville, NC, or the 7-11 at Salisbury. I don't know.... Someday maybe you will expand your horizons, out of the SE or Mid Atlantic, and try that E190 in PHL. I think it is great you live on the water with a dock. I live within a mile of a Sushi restaraunt. You know, "bait."

And, maybe you haven't noticed but I do spend a lot of time late at night on this forum. You can only guess why. (and I am sure they are great guesses) Enough said.

How many hours can you get in a 3 day trip?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

well the NRT turn is about 26-28 for a three day.

General.... do you and your bride have a common language or does she just listen? :beer:

The rumor is, that she speaks some English.

Come on GL I love Fayetteville, NC overnights. Parents live there and they pick me up at the airport each time I go there. Never been to that hotel however.

Well Hell there's your problem right there. You should spend less time late at night on these forums and more time bangin out your wife. I am sure everyone on this forum would agree if your wife started giving you alittle a$$ we'd all be better off. LOL

We will. As hard as it is for you to believe, some of us have ABSOLUTELY no desire to "cross the pond".

Cheers, Salud, or whatever they say in Ukraine when they give you your new wife.

My guess is that the "hot wife" made you sleep on the couch.

I doubt if she can even get a word in edgewise.

You get edjumacated my friend. The Dash goes above FL180. You are just a loser that for close to 3000 waste of time posts, gloats about how great his job is to everybody, yet spends his whole life on flightinfo.com. Just the fact you get aroused by going over 180 is messed up. Why don't you go vacation or spend family time with all your mega Delta bucks rather than give all the people trying to get on with majors crap?

After further review, you have almost 10,000 posts. Get a life.

Yeh, flew a nonstop from Tokyo to DC once-a pretty long boring day. Flew from DC to Honolulu, 1 hour on the ground, then back to DC. Now that's a turn. That kind of stuff used to be fun, and it would be exciting if ya hadn't done it before, but on a scheduled airline, it's gotta get very monotonous. Pay's good, and that 777 looks cool, but it's not too envigorating. Thanks for the answer, and good luck. The lee guy posted about 3 times in a row that he gets 20 hours in 3 days, alot of it sleeping. And he gleed about all the places he's been. A little too much eager. Ya know what they say, act like you've been there before. And the lee guy better be careful, about sayin where he goes-Trevi Fountain has become a hangout for transgender pickups. Not a good situation, no way.

Funny thread...but seriously....

To each his own. There are many reasons to make the decisions we make. I have to remain at SkyWest for at least the next 4 years because my wife is in residency in SLC...with only 4 days off a month...I can't afford to commute and "waste" a day with her(if our marriage is going to be a good one). Would I like to stay somewhere exotic one every trip and make more money? Is the sky blue? However, OTHER things also contribute to the decisions I make for my career. Thus, I'll address my choice in 4 years...a lot can happen in that 4 years and if SkyWest is still around, I'll have 9 years of seniority. Having been furloughed and having suffered through crappy reserve, I think I will be leaning toward leveraging that 9 years and remaing here. Like I said, it'd be fun to fly bigger planes, with cooler overnights and for more money...but those things don't matter as much to me as good schedules(sooner rather than later), not commuting, and...the big one...not hanging off the end of a seniority list.

Like I said, to each his own.
