Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
It was on the Today show too. Al Roker laughing.
I didn't think it was all that big of a deal, a little spat, then over. And saying 'good morning'. Terse, but not berzerk, and not yelling. Not some cop billy clubbing some sorority girl. Total non event blown out of proportion by the press and the internet. I'm not sure if it wasn't edited from original content. It was the Capt. Happy remark by who knows who that gave it legs.

I understand not wearing long sleeves when you're not wearing the jacket, but wearing short sleeves with a jacket just screams that you're clueless about business dress. I absolutely never wear a suit without a long sleeve shirt. Is this some kind of Delta rule that you're an idiot if you wear long sleeve shirts with the jacket?

It's a uniform, not an Armani suit. If pilot dress had some relation to haute couture, then half the guys I fly with wouldn't be wearing clip on ties. It's only recently that my wife convinced me that I'm horribly out of touch and I should ditch the pleated black pants and go with flat fronts....that's my nod to high fashion. Not sure that double breasted suits are really "in" at the moment either.
The 'long sleeves' reference comes from a highly scientific theorem among aviators that establishes a strong correlation between use of long sleeve pilot shirts and toolish behaviour.

UK daily mail saying the incident happened on landing.
'Settle down, Captain Happy': Shocking audio revealed of heated exchange between a Delta pilot and air traffic controller

The argument occurred as the pilot landed on the wrong runway at the Atlanta airport
The pilot took offense at what he called the controller's 'bad attitude' over the mistake
Shocking audio of a heated exchange between a Delta pilot and an air traffic controller has flyers wondering just who's in charge of keeping them safe during air travel.
All the more disturbing is the time when moment the argument occurred: just as the pilot was landing the jet at the Atlanta airport on the wrong runway.
'Like, oh my God, there's another plane out there like six miles away,' mocks the pilot.

The 727 could freeze your outboard side on a long flight. One F/O said he was going to cut a black sweater in half vertically and just wear the right side --- saving the left side for when he upgraded.
Puerto Rico? Saint Thomas?
Looking at getting away with the family next month for 5-6 days. Kids will, hopefully, have their passports by then but if not, anyone have the gouge on any good deals at either of these? Thanks in advance...DW

There are several nice public beach (balnearios?) nearby, and some decent places to eat without breaking the bank. Also pretty close to El Yunque rainforest. Another 20 minutes or so to the east near Fajardo you can do a phosphorescent canoe trip at night in a lagoon - pretty cool if your kids are a little older.
