You must be hitting your head in envy. We all know Parker was drunk when he made that proposal.

I'm one of the Feb newbies... held ATL 767 on the bid.


First checkout is a freebie, and when you have to go to the schoolhouse off of a bid thereafter you have a 2 year seatlock.

Anyone know how many are in the pool right now?

What was the most junior CA award DOH?

the most junior Capt on this bid was an ATL 88 Captain slot, about April or May 97 hire.

.........

FYI,

A word of warning, the 767 is going farther and farther this year....they are installing bunks in some of the airplanes which means they'll be flying over 12 hours (contractual requirement)....so be prepared for some long legs if you bid it!

Good luck everyone!

Isnt DAL using the 767 on the ATL-JNB (via Dakar)? Why is this? Ive spoken to some of the senior mama's who hated this trip once they gave it a shot.

Maybe Delta will put the MD88 on the new ATL-DXB run, so my commute
home will be that much easier.

Just gotta convince Emirates to start some more north america stuff, thats the way to fly. Free booze in coach, plenty of room in coach, foot rest's in coach, seat back entertainment for the whole 14 hours, not too shabby.

You have to admit those ATL 767ER pilots get a lot of variety - plenty of Europe, South America and now Africa. Sure, that flying could get tiring during the super-long flights, but it beats flying to Detroit and Raleigh over and over again... Break up your African trips with a few sorties to Rio, Prague or Moscow. Not bad.

12-13 hour trips is hardly super long haul. For Ultra Long Haul. You need to look at what the likes of Cathay, Singapore, Virgin do. Plus the service on these carriers is well, far superior to anything a US carrier can offer. You can also include Emirates, Ethiad, LH, AF, Qatar, BA to the service quality.

Fog:
I agree....We currently have 2 ultra long haul routes. ATL-NRT, and JFK-BOM.
There is more ULH flights coming though with the addition of our new 777's.
Look for ATL-DXB. ATL-SEL, JFK-TLV, and others in the future. It appears our management team has finally got its head out of its ass and put the planes where they are needed in the int'l market instead of concentrating on the east coast.
