If any of you have a "friend" that might think about logging in and accessing a company site while working, you might want to suggest that might not be a good idea. Just say'n.

I think that eventually we will go to us downloading the recurrent, initial, etc, course material, and saving the cost of the CD's. Works for me. I prefer to have it on a zip drive. (That is what I do with it anyway. Get the CD, import it to a zip drive and then I can take it with me)
ACL,

Are you serious about the zip drive? Can you even find those anymore?

Just asking.

Didn't that very thing put some FAs in termination danger a year or two ago?

The last 22 of 49 pictures on the slideshow are of a Delta 763 bringing the Saints home.

Agreed. I know that I have been told there are at least 50 logged instances of DBMS being accessed while said pilot was airborne. I was not told if they had the computer ID, so it could very well be coincidence. Just plain stupid to do so. I know my wife checks my sked more than I do. Just do not be stupid.

Japan Airlines Sticks With American
By Joseph Woelfel 02/09/10 - 03:05 AM ESTAdd Comment
Stock quotes in this article: AMR , DAL *
TOKYO (TheStreet) -- Japan Airlines is sticking with AMR's(AMR Quote) American Airlines, spurning an offer from Delta(DAL Quote) to join its SkyTeam alliance.

Delta Air Lines Incorporated| DAL
Japan Airlines, in a statement Tuesday, said it would strengthen its partnership with American Airlines and apply to the U.S. and Japanese governments for antitrust immunity on trans-Pacific routes.
JAL and American are members of the Oneworld alliance.

Both American and Delta offered JAL incentives of more than $1 billion to join their respective alliances. But it was believed that a tie-up with Delta wouldn't pass antitrust muster in the U.S., according to reports.

"We have analyzed this issue in great detail, and we are excited at the prospects in terms of the convenience and benefits for our customers," said JAL President Masaru Onishi, in a statement. "We also firmly believe that the advantages of this development with American Airlines can strongly support JAL at a time when we are striving towards the revival of our business, which we are determined to achieve. We certainly look forward to a deeper, more mutually-beneficial relationship with our long-time partner."

JAL, Asia's biggest carrier, filed for bankruptcy in January and is undergoing a restructuring of its debt.
