When the Trannies first took delivery of the 717s they had huge BMW stickers on the side of the engines. They have since removed them. Don't know why. I think we should put those things back on them.
Add a little German engineering prestige to the livery.
And Delta used to have the old "Dependable Engines" logo on most of our nacelles.
I liked those stickers. Anybody know why we don't do that anymore?

I think the stickers got saturated with oil, then fell off during un-scheduled engine removals at outstations.

No Sir, there is nothing deliquent of those brave souls to whom so many on so many better airplanes owe our clean shirts and shorts.

I'm not the expert on the new FTDT stuff, but it seems like the Company might be able to avoid "dinner and a movie" rotations in the not too distant future and use those pilots as MD88A's.
It is not the kind of widebody flying movement we would like to see, but not disastrous either. End of the day, Delta makes some tweaks to increase efficiency.

Kinda obvious, but... ding ding ding winner winner chicken dinner

Not really..... but I do agree with the MD metaphor. I am not talking about how it affects US.. I am strictly talking about how it affects DAL.
