I ended up going home - Atlanta - Newark - Paris. Three legger to stay Loyal to DAL and avoid AF.

Two hour layover in each airport, so crossing fingers to not missing a connection.
I am curious as to your aversion to Air France.

Do you try to fly on a US carrier, or have you had bad service on AF, etc.?

Just curious!

AF is not an airline I have any desire to ever ride on. Some of the regionals we codeshare with are sketchy, and AF is just as sketchy. I'm pretty sure they've been the first to wreck most of the aircraft types they operate currently.

I flew the swept wing version of this in Navy flight training - the TF-9J Cougar jet. I must be old.

Here's what a post from an excited new hire sounds like, in case anyone forgot:

FYI they are still doing interviews I am a new hire myself and today while on the train in Denver terminal we met a guy that interviewed today going home. They are really short fo's and I keep timing out 30/7. Also I have 2 friends that just got hired one is scheduled for July class and the other in August. Good luck and keep ur stuff up to date. United is a great company with a lot of movement.

Can't be. If we're not hiring, nobody is hiring.

Just a guess, but check out the RA-5 Vigilante. Mach 2+...fastest ever, and one of the largest ever to operate of a carrier.

Kind of reminds me of both the F-111 and RAF Tornado but looks bigger.
