Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
I logged on and saw Jesse was the most recent post. I got excited to see what hottie he chose to share. No pic..... )-: Thanks Denny for the eye candy.
I do think that scheduling still has way too much leeway in how they assign SC, slips, etc. It def needs to be more transparent.
Raise your hands if you saw the girl and looked to the left and were surprised it was Denny?
Well, those with your hands raised are fools.
It's Denny Crane!

I can't really offer any insight since I haven't been on reserve for quite awhile but, I think the smaller the base, the more it seems to be equitable. Junior CA's I fly with seem pretty happy. Senior guys, not so much.

DTW HND is losing a ton of money
We have no connecting ability out of HND AMR and UAL have JAL and ANA. Respectively.
The Japanese government wants two ANA and two JAL slots moved from NRT to HND to push all of the US bound flights out of HND leaving us at NRT two hours out of the city center
The requisite quid is moving all of our 315 weekly NRT slots to HND. The Japanese do not want that, one for space in HND and two because it does not marganize our fifth freedom rights.
By pulling a flight out of HND unilaterally it hurts the argument for the overall demand which is our flying out of HND if they agree to move the Japanese slots.
In the end if you do not want to look at this broader issue look at it this way. Move the slot or suspend the service because DTW HND is losing its shirt. Support keeps the pilot block hrs and the route. The quid is keeping the flying not a promise of growth.
The Japanese issue is a big one and a strategic loss with the slot conflict would mean jobs and some of the most sought after flying from this pilot group.

It isn't bad on the 9 don't get me wrong. 3 short calls and 4 days of flying this month. However those 3 shortcalls completely caught me by surprise.
I do like the new bucket system for longcall though. Keeps me at home a lot.
Dang. I forgot August 20th. 9 days is a little late but I'm going to go ahead and post it:
....However matters may go in France or with the French Government or with another French Government, we in this island and in the British Empire will never lose our sense of comradeship with the French people. If we are now called upon to endure what they have suffered we shall emulate their courage, and if final victory rewards our toils they shall share the gains, aye. And freedom shall be restored to all. We abate nothing of our just demands—Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, all who have joined their causes to our own shall be restored.
What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.

The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day, but we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our bomber squadrons travel far into Germany, find their targets in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aim their attacks, often under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss, with deliberate, careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon the whole of the technical and war-making structure of the Nazi power. On no part of the Royal Air Force does the weight of the war fall more heavily than on the daylight bombers who will play an invaluable part in the case of invasion and whose unflinching zeal it has been necessary in the meanwhile on numerous occasions to restrain…
