The Few, The Proud, The DC9 Pilots.
Then we could have...
The Many, The Bitter, The MD88 Displacement Pilots
Or
The Sleepy, The Bored, the ER Pilots.
Or
The Loud, The Toothless, the Alabama fans.
By the way, look at this and you'll see why I say loud.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hRXM-ZXXmU I hate that song. I've heard it twice in my life directed at Auburn and it is a kick in the you know what everytime, thank goodness it only seems to come around once every seven or so years lately. Satchip, FL International? Really?

To all the DAL-N guys and gals (and those DAL-S in "the know")... When you pull up the standby priority for NWA flights on Travelnet, what do the different letter codes mean? I know they're higher priority than us "3's". When you click on the letter, it brings up the standby priority sheet, but the letters aren't listed. I'm asking because there's a flight we're looking at where we are the top "3's" but there are a bunch of "B's" and "D's". Are these revenue passengers who have a seat in economy and wish to upgrade? Are these codes similar to DAL-S's "UP3's", "UP4's", etc.? This would make a huge difference on us being able to make the flight. Any ideas?

That reminds me of the speech ole' Sam gives us when we finish our DC-9 LOE sim.
Video of Sam's speech: (Or, close to it.)
YouTube - Crimson Tide Speech
Text of Sam's speech:
Cob: Crew present and accounted for, Sir!
Sam : Little ducks, there's trouble in Fargo. So they called us. And we're going over there and bringing the most durable flying machine ever devised. We're capable of flying more legs than has ever been conceived of in the history of scheduled air service. For one purpose alone: Keep our airline safe.
Sam: We constitute the front line and the last line of the hub and spoke concept. I expect and demand your very best. Anything less -- you should've flown the Airbus. This might be Anderson’s airline, but this is my boat. And all I ask is that you keep up with me. And if you can't, that strange sensation you'll be feeling in the seat of your pants will be the de-icing fluid leaking from your window.
Sam: Mr. Cob?
Cob: Yes, Sir!
sam: You're aware of the name of this ship, aren't you, Mr. Cob?
Cob: VERY aware, Sir!
Sam: It bears a proud name doesn't it, Mr. Cob.
Cob: VERY proud, Sir!
Sam: It represents fine people.
Cob: VERY fine people, Sir!
Sam: Who can fly an airplane without a FMC.
Cob: OUTSTANDING, Sir! (Really??)
Sam: For the greatest Air Line in the entire world.
Cob: In the ENTIRE world, Sir!
Sam: And what is that name, Mr. Cob?
Cob: DC-9 'ABAMA, Sir!
Sam: And what do we say?!
Sam & Cob: Go 'Bama'!
Crew: ROLL Nine!!
Sam: Chief of the boat: Dismiss the crew.
Cob: Dismiss the crew! Aye, aye, Sir! Crew & department heads, attend to your galley, find the garbage bags and new Coke products. Fall out!
Weclome to the DC-9, gentlemen. Be happy that you don't have to write down the ATC frequencies anymore.

Japan Airlines to Cut Headcount by 6,800
Japan Airlines' chief executive said that he wants to conclude tie-up talks with foreign carriers by mid-October.
Haruka Nishimatsu, CEO, told reporters after attending a meeting of an independent panel that is reviewing the company's turnaround plan, that JAL is prepared to undergo its largest-ever downsizing.
Delta Airlines [DAL 8.60 --- UNCH (0) ], American Airlines and Air France-KLM are in rival talks to invest in JAL to expand in Asian market via code-sharing agreements, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Each airline is discussing an investment of $200-$300 million in exchange for a minority stake and a code-sharing relationship with the Japanese carrier, but talks are fluid and the numbers could change, said the source, who was not authorized to discuss the talks publicly.
Analysts said JAL would have a difficult choice ahead.
"If you just look at what the companies can offer, then Delta would make more sense as an ally because they have more services between Japan and North America," said Credit Suisse analyst Osuke Itazaki.
But he added JAL will have to weigh those advantages carefully at the significant cost of leaving Oneworld, an alliance which includes American Airlines.
Each airline is seeking access to JAL to help expand in Asia via code-sharing agreements.
