Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
![Default](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Anyone ever talk to Carl? I personally think this place is better off with more opinions and more posters. Hmmmm? How can we lure him back? Here are a few ideas:
1. Unlimited caddy swimming hours (no pool - pond ony).
2. One free gopher trap with every post.
3. Free subscription to "Varmint Killer" magazine.
4. All expense night out on the town with Lacy Underall.
5. Right of first refusal on all of Tiger's rejects.

32 He who ignores discipline despises himself,
but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
I also like:
Proverbs 21:19 (New Living Translation) It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife.
And this one is for Satch:
Ezekiel 20:29 (New International Version) Then I said to them: What is this high place you go to? It is called Bamah to this day.
BAMA! I mean BAMAH!

Proverbs 31:6 (New International Version)
Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish.
^^ Thanks to overnights not lasting more than 8 hours the poor pilots in ATL 88 B are unable to get the beer and wine they deserve. Its sad. Don't bid 88 ATL B. You'll go out thirsty.

KC,
Don't know if anyone ever answered your question; with a MD you get S1 passes, not Positive space. You'll be the first space available person on the airplane, but it is not positive space.
If anyone has questions about going through a displacement and getting a paid move, feel free to PM me. My family and I are renters, though, so we I can't tell you much about what assitance is provided to homeowners.

Great picture and high res too. After seeing that photo, does anyone question Boeing's structural integrity testing? Does anyone wonder about the Frog's aircraft testing? I'm just wondering. I believe the Bolivian AF A330 crash was a structural failure. I believe they flew into "extreme turbulence" which caused a catastrophic failure. I believe they probably lost their rudder and vertical stab first followed by other components. The vertical fin seems to be the Airbus' achilles heel. Rudder input pressure inputs are a big issue with this aircraft. Although Airbus leads the industry in advancements and innovation, it comes with a cost. Anyone remember how many F-16's became lawn darts before they became a formidable foe?
