This thread is intended to help people interested in getting on board at Delta with positive information. I think everyone is bored to death with an arguement that started in 1999. If you want to keep it going, PM me. But for the record - you won. There are 10 DCI carriers in our only hub and ASA is positioned to be replaced by non-ALPA pilots. All the destruction we saw coming is now a fact and soon to be a footnote in history. It is a shame. But at least I participated in an effort to try to save our airline and by extension a small part of the profession. I continue to believe "inclusive scope" which would result in all Delta flying being performed by Delta pilots (who would be junior to you) is the right direction - but - now that non-ALPA pilots perform most of the 49% of Delta flying done by subcontractors it will probably never happen. You won, you won, you won. How many times must I repeat the same drivel before you accept, you won? Those who wanted an inclusive union, lost. The indians will take back the West before small jet pilots can try to attain scope that would protect their jobs and raise the floor of this profession.
Again, this thread is to try to help people who are trying to get on board with a great airline. Will you contribute anything? You have experience we don't have.
So does mach increase or decrease with altitude? I thought that it decreased because if you are going mach 1 at 1000 feet you are going much faster than if you are going mach 1 at 36,000 feet. Why are the fellas on the gouge saying mach increases with altitude? TAS is greater with altitude and the speed of sound is lower so are they saying that mach NUMBER increases with altitude even though actual mach decreases?
Hey guys, resurecting an old post (sorry). I have an interview coming up and I am still a bit confused about some of these problems.
Regarding the question about holdong east on the 090 radial. The question asks what the bearing pointer is pointing to before you turn inbound. My interpretation is that if your are on the 090 radial, your bearing is pointing to 270 regardless of wind correction angle. Am I totally wrong on that?
Also, there seem to be a number of questions from the gouge dealing with decent rates and wind correction angles that do not have any speeds. Does the test have similar questions with no speeds, or is that just one of the inconsistencies of the gouge?
Thanks for everyones' info. It has been very helpful.
I guess that is one of the things I am confused about. "before turning inbound." Where exactly are you considered to be turning inbound? By what you are saying, it sounds like you are not really heading towards that station, or 'inbound,' until after you pass through a 360 heading on a parallel entry, right? I guess that would make sense. In that case I would agree with you. Your bearing pointer would be something slightly south of a 270 bearing i.e 265 or so. Maybe I am way off on this, but I always thought that once you begin the turn, you are turning inbound.
