I think I'll just wait and let them buy one for me.

So after reading that they have about 750 pilots and Captains make around 176,000 USD (I'm assuming that was averaged). Also represented by BALPA? Is that British ALPA?

It's all that Vitamin G.

Guiness! And nearly impossible to find in NRT!
Vitamin V works as well. Preferably Titos.

In 2008 the 777 had 193 As and 194 Bs. According to the Delta 2008 10-K, we had 10 777s.
That equals 19.3 As and 19.4 Bs per 777.
2012 October fleet report says we have 18 777s but we only have 272 As and 277 Bs?
That equals 14.56 As and 15.39 Bs per 777.
?
Had the "PBS effect" been fully realized yet?

Hey Gunship,

Can't remember deadheading much in my 20 years in the military...but I'm pretty sure when I did I was horizontal in a bunk. In fact, I'm pretty sure I "administered" many check rides in the exact same position.

I'm not sure what equipment you're on but when you DH a lot and for long periods, the middle seat sucks. Especially when you have to work right after you DH.

You keep your middle seat cowboy.

Why should we buy anything? Dont you think Delta should buy us the equipment or do you think it is too late since many pilots already decided to use their own equipment.

Our team of managers are smart.

Me thinks you are Lumberg coming back as the koolaid drinking Rogue.

Completely off topic, but right now, 60 Minutes is on, lead story is about how the medical industry has hospital admission quotas, to run up the bills.

Later, a story about a solar/electric airplane to be flown around the world.
