Hey fellas, quick geen slip question. Who's the proper dog to speak to if you believe you were passed over (overlooked) for a GS or two? Call and run the guantlet of crew scheduling or speak with DALPA. Not trying to bust any of my bros, but looks like I either screwed up royally or didn't get the call for a couple GS's I was senior for. Just curious. Thanks!

The MEC Scheduling and Contract Administration Committees put a lot of money in Delta pilot's pockets every year due to their efforts.

It's GOOD to be Larry Ellison! $300 Million to him is about 30 bucks to you and me.
Wasn't there an old saying about the only difference between men and boys, is the price of their toys?
The traditionalist, Monhull Yatch Club types went nutz when Larry said he was going to use 72' catamarans to race for the America's Cup. There were all kinds of nay-sayers who said you can't match race in catamarans, etc. Then they figured out how to make them foil (the Kiwi's actually did it first) and all hell broke loose. It turned into one of the best America's Cup matches ever.
If you saw those foiling C class cats I put the video of a few pages back, they have been foiling for about 10+ years. Larry went and got some of those guys to join his team, and some guys from the foiling Moth class, and some got help from Boeing as well.
Money is no object when you are number 2 or 3 on the World's Richest Man list.
Here's an excellent video which explains how both the AC 72 and the Moth are able to "Fly", done by Nathan Outteridge, two time Moth World Champion. He lives in Detroit now.

Oh, I looked into getting a Moth, so I could fly too. A new one is about $16K and the dealer I spoke with said you do a lot more swimming than actual flying! Nathan makes it look easy, but then the best guys always do!

Thanks but I've already got 3 catamarans in my back yard that don't get used enough! I'd like to sell my Formula 16 racing cat and 'retire' to a Corsair F28R Trimaran, race with the old men over in Sarasota, cruise in the Keys, but I've got to get four kids -off- my payroll first!

Why a Corsair F28?? Because I'll never be able to afford this!

I got a Hobie 14 and Prindle 18 for my kids, cheap, $500 each, out of neighbor's backyards where they'd been sitting unused for years.
Here's a good website if any of you are looking for cheap, used catamarans

And there's always Craigs List.
What's a big bang for the buck sailboat that a family of 4 could spend a weekend on the lake? I've always had a thing for sailboats and used to drool over the Hunter models, but then became a pilot so that's literally out water...... My only experience is in a Hobie Cat 14 and even that was an experiment. I'm thinking about taking a sailing course on Lanier and renting some this summer. I'm a hobbiest woodworker and thought it would be cool to take a classic wooden boat and restore it...
