New Spirit of Delta

[Noserider76]

Sorry to bore the other airline guys but a pretty cool shot of the Boeing flightline with DL's first two 777LRs. The first one will be delivered tomorrow Feb 29. The employee dedication ceremony for the new Spirit of Delta will be on Mar 6 and the first flight is Mar 8 (ATL-LAX). Second one arrives Mar 21. They are the first two aircraft with the new lie flat Business Elite product.

Whatever happened to the original Spirit of Delta? Did it get sold?

It has been converted to an educational museum. Several exhibits and movies are displayed on the main cabin. My favorite is a hands on demonstration of the materials used to build aircraft over the years.

The Museum is inside the Delta GO complex, but the public can check in with security and go over to the free museum. The aircraft is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

This early production 767 had the Flight Engineer's station. When it was removed the remaining space makes for one enormous flight deck.

Unfortunately the aircraft had to be modified for storage, safety, and environmental, conditions to be met. As a result it will never fly again. The aircraft has a interesting history. Anyone who wants to is welcome to come visit.

It was repainted in original colors and now sits in the Delta Heritage Museum at Hartsfield. It still looks great.

Original is in the museum hangar in ATL.

I still remember seeing it all the time at Hartsfield when it was still flying in the original colors. I always loved that old paint job.

I agree. Although most of the old paint jobs were pretty ratty by the time I got here, it's still the best one DL has had. Be great if the new paint job was the old paint job instead.

The New Spirit of Delta? Did the employees take up a collection to buy it like the original Spirit of Delta?

I realize you're pretty bitter about getting shot down by NWA, but this is the major's forum. Please go to the regional forum, and stay there! Maybe you can take some of your useless comments with you!
No wonder you can't get hired anywhere!

I enjoy my job? Do you?

Oh, and are you really type rated in the 757 AND the 767? WOW!

 

[737 Pylt]

I enjoy my job? Do you?

Then why the NWA interview? You know the one where you DIDN'T get hired!

Oh, and are you really type rated in the 757 AND the 767? WOW!

NWA? I figured, why not... it never hurts to interview. I only applied in the darkest days of our negotiations when it looked like ASA was going to shut down. Son of a gun if they didn't call me a week after I applied. I figured sure, why not?

As for the ATR type, I don't list them as separate types like you do, moron. In fact, I'm not a big enough dork to list all of the aircraft I've flown at all. You on the other hand seem to think we should be impressed by your "wide" repertoire of airliners, including the 757 AND 767! See, some people, like you, need to "compensate" for other things that are a wee bit short by overplaying themselves in other areas. Hey, we feel for ya that you can't keep the ladies satisfied. Have you considered Viagra?

Sorry about that. I'll be sure to pm you and get your permission next time. Actually, there probably won't be a next time since I don't have any active applications out.

Sounds like humble pie. Congrats, you're finally starting to get it!

I'm sorry sparky, next time I'll check with you before putting aircraft on my profile, after all, this is an aviation forum you doosh!

Quite the contrary numbnuts, its called, information!

See, some people, like you, need to "compensate" for other things that are a wee bit short by overplaying themselves in other areas. Hey, we feel for ya that you can't keep the ladies satisfied. Have you considered Viagra?

Why, have you got some extra? After that royal "flush" from NWA, I'm sure you could use it looking more like George Costanza after a dip in the cold pool water!

Run along now, nothing more here to comment on!
This thread has been played out.

Relax, I just didn't remember seeing you post anything about it. But since you want to be a d!ck, enjoy your ATR for the rest of your life.

 

[John Pennekamp]

So anyhow, regarding the new Spirit of Delta, did they take up a collection or not?

 

[John Pennekamp]

I can't. They're getting rid of it. Enjoy Valujet the rest of your life, you PFT whore!

Neat

No John, they did not take up a collection. With coming out of bankrutcy, and with parking the original Spirit, it was a nice thing to do - to have the pride of the fleet dedicated to the employees.

Can't wait to non-rev on it to Asia (you not lucky today Mr. Fins. You go row 54, you wife no go till Thursday, maybe NorthWest give her seat, they like you)

You should really see somebody about that temper.

Apparently they both have some time off to think about it.

Ouch!

ASA was PFT until the summer of 1999. So, when were you hired? Oh, I'm sorry, you're in time out and can't respond.

 

[sperfly]

What's PFT? Lots of love on these boards these days. My Dad was at that ribbon cutting and still has the big picture with a piece of the ribbon in it stashed away somewhere.
