[FONT=ARIAL,]Delta Airlines President Ed Bastian said the carrier may consider ordering more of the big Boeing 777s later this year, such as the new one it picked up here Friday.[/FONT]

[FONT=ARIAL,]"We've got a heck of a lot of international capacity coming online over the next two or three years," Bastian said. If that expansion goes well, he said, Delta could decide later this year to exercise options that would allow it to buy additional 777s from Boeing.[/FONT]


[/FONT]12 year captain pay on Delta 777 = $191/hr
12 year FO pay on Delta 777 = $131/hr


12 year captain pay on NWA 787 = $165/hr
12 year captain pay on NWA 787 = $112/hr

Bring on the 777's!

.....on a side note the order included the option out of the much heralded "auto-throttles"fail safe package.... Instead deciding to go with the inflatable FE option(or FE in a box as it's known) to work the throttles manually!

With training, serious hull losses can be avoided. The 777's short list of memory items can stand the addition of one item.

LOW ENGINE THRUST, LOW AIRSPEED, or FAILURE TO MAINTAIN GLIDEPATH

THRUST LEVER(S) (both may be required)...... INCREASE

Scientific study has indicated in previous instances of the autothrottles not working this technique has been used by Captains to avoid disaster.

C2: Oh Goodness, the engines are recalcitrant in their spool up and we appear to have decended below glidepath
C1: Blimey, Liverpool lost to Sussex
C2: Must be those bleeding autothrottles
C1: God Speed
C2: We're droppin like a bleedin stone
C1: Droppin like Richard Branson's trousers, Virgin, what a joke
C1: Don't be a tosser, have you tried pushing the power up?
C: Glideslope... Terrain, terrain... Whoop Whoop...
C2: Oh now I say, that's better, engines responding now
C1: Next time don't be such a hairdresser, just grab the throttles you Nancy and next thing you know Bob's your Uncle.
C2: Right, yes, quite right

Who saw this coming?

So maybe there's hope for the rest of us? Either that or we move to Canada.

-22% for Pres. Obama tax increases.

 

[viper548]

-100% after furlough once McCain outsources all the US flying jobs to India

 

[viper548]

However, if you're in the guard or reserves McCain will keep ya busy

 

[Diesel-9]

He might have to. Thanks to our C.I.C. of the 90's, I deployed more as a reservist than I did active duty as the active forces and our human intelligence troops were decimated and we are where we are today because of it.
