He still sounded like a senile old idiot. Just because you've jumped off something really high doesn't mean you're qualified as a mission controller.


In other news, was it just me imagining things or did two gorgeous women kiss each other after they landed?

Using my extensive background in aero. sci. I would estimate....

50% smaller than of the majority of our flight attendant's waist lines.

Business select on SWA? Priority boarding? Is this just leftover Tranny stuff? Could we actually see a business class on the clown cars?

The jump itself was pretty cool... but... if it were me, I would have taken a moment to enjoy the view. After all, there aren't too many people that have ever seen that view from that perspective... but I guess getting the record is way more important.. That, and did anybody see an American flag anywhere?

On the DAL Benefits website the premiums page is showing that the DPMP monthly premiums will be the following for 2013:
Single.................$126
Single w/Spouse...$267
Single w/children..$212
Family.................$401.

Also remember that if you choose the DPMP, you MUST use the DPMP dental, which is the same plan as the Comprehensive, but is $2-7/month less than the Comprehensive plan if chosen as a stand-alone or in conjunction with any other DAL medical plan.


As an aside:
The DPMP improvement is another one if the little things that came about from C2012, of course everyone would like it to be even lower, but the prior contract plan was 27% cost borne by the pilots, now it is 22%. Which translates to an decrease in the cost by 18.5% (partially offset by the overall increase in cost YOY)

The consolidation of the DPMP-N, PPO and DPMP into one plan saved money too, and enabled an INCREASE in covered benefits.
