When the red management warning light illuminates, does that mean that bankruptcy is imminent? or is that when it flashes with the associated claxon?

it looks like a small incandescent bulb designed to indicate something out of the ordinary like a malfunction.

I find it pretty and somewhat hypnotic.

That too sir.

Sir we may be out of fuel, we've lost engine 2, and engine 1 is no longer on fire.

Maybe pax will actually watch them. It's something SWA would've done. I applaud it.

I really hope you're on the DC-9.

I liked the videos over all, and I despise being "PC" in any and all forms, as well as like to "laugh at myself" or whatever, but I too thought that was a bit of a semi-serious dig at us. Especially with it being the last thing they see on the video and if its a short taxi, just moments before power-up on the runway as they all think "guess they pushed that button".

But whatever. Again, good effort over all. Did anyone see the NYC commercial Delta "NY Anthem" TV Ad - YouTube where the F.O. who lives in Manhattan takes a yellow cab to work while only bringing a bag barely big enough for his hat and McRib because he KNOWS he's not getting rerouted or anything? I mean is that not just

or what?

I liked the video (right up until the end). I feel this was in very poor taste towards a group that I feel is responsible for why Delta is currently the industry leader today. Happy to see our union already conveyed displeasure to ED if that is the case. I don't know about the rest of you but I would take old school flying over today. More and more responsibility is being placed on us for less money. The end of the video was simply disrespectful, not funny.

When the A Line asked he always had some story ready about extra per diem, or bonus money. During the Captain's break the A Line would usually ask, "is that true." In good FO form, my answer is always "yes."

Can't believe they turned the Douglas Flight Test group into a cartoon.

At least they got the proper use of the manual on a Douglas aircraft correct. (Works on old Volkswagens and most British electrical systems with equal effect)
