I just got a call from crew resources telling me that my RMA has been approved with a retirement date of 01SEP. Time to get out of the way. The only sad part is that my last flight was in the right seat giving CA TOE. Didn't even get the landing. I wish all of you the best of luck for the future at the BIG D. I really believe that the best is yet to come. I will still keep lurking here however.

Congrats amigo and well wishes to you in retirement. I am grateful to have shared the cockpit with many quality guys at Delta who have/will be pulling the trigger. I know it's a hard choice but thank you!

Ha.. no, it's just that you could fit a whole family, a crew, and a few friends into the cockpit of an L1011 and still land the SOB... not that it ever happened...
