I'll add a big 2 or Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I'm about to start Supernova in the East IV and saving A Blueprint for Armageddon (23 hours over 6 podcasts) for an upcoming quarantine. You have to REALLY like history to enjoy these podcasts. Each of the Supernova in the East podcast is 4-5 hours long...but the level of detail is insane.

Well in all fairness, I actually did a lot of beach lounging on one of my last "deployments."

I just bought both 'Breed' and 'Pillow.' Which one should I read first?

Thanks!

I'd go with Leckie and then Sledge. They're both really good, but it's "With the Old Breed" that has really stuck with me.

Follow that up with watching "The Pacific," if you haven't already, since that mini-series is those two books plus some Manila John Basilone.

Howdy y’all:

I’ve got some stickers for your bags. They might represent how you’re feeling these days with respect to a certain someone. $5, all proceeds to benefit the Delta Pilots Charitable Fund. PM me for deets.

Are non-seniority list pilots allowed to conduct our Customer Acceptance Flights? If not, there could be a problem with our latest 220 delivery...

My understanding is it’s allowed. The plane isn’t Delta’s till the money changes hands, and that is after the customer acceptance flight.

Customer Acceptance or delivery? There is a difference, not that JL or anybody else on the 4th floor has read section 1...

Maybe the original posted Who has this info on the flights in question should contact the union so they can look into it...

I really wonder why non Delta pilots are allowed to perform Delta acceptance flights? Does anyone else see the problem with this? There’s that family culture right there they preach ain’t it..rules of the road and all...gmafb,..it’s sleazy and slimy from our ‘Top Men’...whether contractually allowed or not.
