Read the full language on the 35% clause. Delta has all the wiggle room they need to ignore that requirement if compliance becomes inconvenient.

Spliced it with the results from UAL 292 and Sully then threw in the dynamic of a functioning alcoholic to counterbalance the heroism, which seemes like the only original thing about it. At least they got the airplane wrong.

Full disclosure: I'm probably going to see it anyway.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Verizon. It runs pure Android (currently Ice Cream Sandwich but can easily be upgraded to Jelly Bean). It's absolutely amazing. The screen is high def and the 4G through Verizon is FAST! I've had speeds approaching 30 Mbps! I rooted my phone and have a custom Jelly Bean ROM on it right now. Google has some pretty cool features on their new O/S. Google Now and Google Voice Search are pretty darn nice. There are some funny videos online showing how Google Voice Search destroys Apple's Siri. Apple puts out a good phone but the current Android phones are smoking the iPhone. The greatest thing is that I upgraded my phone for $50. You can also go to the Google Play store and buy a completely unlocked GSM phone and activate with whichever provider you want. The Galaxy S3 is also a very nice phone and is getting great reviews, but you'll have some Samsung "bloatware" with it. I'm not very familiar with the EVO. Hope this helps!

By the way, Target Mobile has the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for $50. Might want to check that out. Costco usually runs some good phone deals, too.

Yeah, when in the dark and on the arrival the cockpit lights up in a blue light with no noise... wow, such theatrics.

Or if you hit the test button and get that test message at the gate. Then you're like, wait, we gettin' rerouted before we even start? No.

If you have the old evo you will love the new evo.
I upgraded about a month ago and it is a much better phone. Lighter, Battery life is almost double. Pictures are amazing. Spint service not so much unless you are in SAT or IAH.. phone picked up 4g and it was phelps fast
I first got the Galaxy II and returned it within a week. The HTC software is way ahead of Galaxy II dont know anout Galaxy III.

If its time to upgrade try amazonwireless.com
Cheaper prices on the same phones.
Had no problems with my delta discount

That would apply to just about everything in the PWA

I don't know if it was that one per se, but yes.

I'm not exactly excited anymore when I see a mostly or all 90 trip.

How does that part about furloughed ALPA pilots go again?

If Comair is gone entirely, am I considered Furloughed, or just F'ed?
