To DAL330drvr: I hope you're reading this stuff about the DAL N FA's. That's all I was saying my friend. By the way, lets keep this friendly, shall we. I'm on your side, OK?

But the DAL-N flight attendants are now trained on those planes, so they can fly them too. As long as both the pilots and flight attendants are trained on the 767, I don't see why both can't fly them.

FWIW, that option of a Flash Drive to store your progress is a new development. I like it. I take the CD copy it to a flash drive, and then save the position on the flash drive. Presto chango, I now have the disk on a flash drive that sits in my bag. Works well for the last year or so.
Sure beats spending 2 days in the schoolhouse trying not to fall asleep and spending a small fortune on food/beer in the evenings.

Bill, it's because the DAL N FA's are refusing to fly with DAL S pilots. They are apparently saying that their contract prohibits them from flying with anyone but Northwest pilots. What I'm mainly confused about, is what exactly are they trying to accomplish with this blockade?

Waves,
I understand that, but now the DAL-N pilots and flight attendants are both trained on the 767. That means, if Delta wanted to put those 767s to DAL-N bases, they could, right? If both DAL-N and DAL-S pilots and flight attendants have had the training, then both can fly that plane, at any base, including DTW and MSP. After the integration of the pilots at all of the bases, how would the DL-N flight attendants know? A DL-S pilot now based in MSP or DTW is now a MSP or DTW based DL pilot, period.

It doesn't make sense.

Well, NWA did a good job of running the freight operation into the ground at the end and never did comit to replacing the aging 747-200 freighters. Over the years NWA made a pot full of money off of freight, but in the end they decided to let it die a slow death and the turn down in the economy did not help either. My guess is that at the time of the merger freight was loosing money and the need for new airplanes was way to much for DAL to chew on. I think that there was a missed opportunity, but it was NWA that did the missing not DAL. Sure was nice to not have to deal with pax and FAs. I miss the good old freight dog days.

Is there an easy way to view the future schedule on the dalnet? I'm trying to get an idea of what the flying is going to look like out of MSP on the 88.

Box cargo is even more dependent on cyclical economics than passengers.
