Our team of managers are smart.

Me thinks you are Lumberg coming back as the koolaid drinking Rogue.
I bought a second Ipad for just the Content Locker. Bought a 64 gb used one for 220 bucks and it works great.

So what, if anything, would it mean for the average Delta pilot if the deal goes through?

It may mean that Delta operates fewer flights to London and other places, since VA will be doing that flying for us...

It means you'll get to see airplanes at your friendly neighborhood Delta hub, painted with:

Delta International, Operated by Virgin Atlantic.

Or, just simply...

SKYTEAM (go ahead and guess what airline you're actually flying on, I dare you)

Sometimes the cone of shame can be a blessing.

Those Seahawks hurt my feelings today!

The Bears had better be careful, or they might miss the playoffs -- just like last year.

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.

Can't tell for sure, but it sounds like you didn't get my parody of those who think it's just terrific the company mandated pilot PAs at the gate every 15 mins. Insert "PA" for "DH".
