This is from Nov 2014: "Delta will take delivery of the A350-900 starting in the second quarter of 2017 through 2020."

That's time frame of ~45 months. Just curious, if we are getting 25 airplanes where do you see "1 a month almost".

If you know something different - please feel free to share!

The plan if no changes is 15 in the first 18 months. Then the 330-900's start arriving along with a much slower rate on the 350's. All of this is subject to change however the Rumor is we could move up the first deliveries. I find this unlikely because they are already behind on spooling up the training program. First 4 instructors to Toulouse next month. Sim coming to ATL next year, second sim coming to MIA at the Airbus center. Training for line guys to start late summer 16.

We're airline pilots. They're free. We like free. Leave them connected.
I prefer my headset. I wish the pilot in the seat before me would disconnect it and store it nearby.

IIRC when based in NY, there was a pilot who advertised renting or chartering his catamaran in the islands. Anybody know his contact info? For that matter, any info anyone has would be great.

I'm just in the info gathering stages. Looking to put together a trip for next year. All the specifics are on the table right now. Which island(s), crewed vs. non-crewed and what month are all up for discussion. Needs to be good sized boat or maybe two as it could end up being several couples.

Thanks

Oh, and congrats to the U Conn Husky girls, and coach Geno, on his 10th National Championship.
I would have watched, but there was a semi-pro bowling matchup that was more interesting.

I'm guessing about 10% max use their own headset on the 717. So I leave the ship headset plugged in when I leave. But I don't ***** when I have to dig around to find one.

I don't worry about germs. Widespread exposure is nature's inoculation protocol. (Let the kids play in the dirt.) I worry about alien abduction. Lining the inside of my hat with tinfoil seems to work - and I always wear my hat.

When I went in for my 3rd YF shot, the Chief of Public Heath (PHD) for my county showed me the WHO recommendation/guidelines on YF shots. The protocol has now been changed to one per lifetime. I sent the information to Delta hoping they'd cut me in for some of the yearly savings.

But I will say the every subsequent YF produces less adverse reaction in the body. This last one only resulted in more body hair. I may not speak Urdu but with my shirt off I look like a native.
