If I had been drinking something, anything, it'd gone out my nose reading this.

Where is the 9 going out of ATL anyways? Is it doing the DCI upgauge replacement they had mentioned in the previous months? I know I could look it up, but its a lazy Saturday.

Because I demand to go to the last page, and sometimes, its not the last page. And I keep clicking and clicking and clicking... its kind of like approach lights, I've just gotta stare at them. I mean I got this thing about shinny objects, and so I stare. Or click.

Help me out.

Repeat question that I have seen over and over, but just hasn't stuck with me:

I know what you're saying.... Just started happening to me too, it used to never do that. Not sure why, but I it does on a couple of other random threads here.

Oh, and BTW....Why does ACL get to speak of himself in the 3rd person now?
(Its not like he flies the 9 or anything like that!)

Lets see, out of atl, I know the -9 goes to:

Flint, Grand Rapids, Dayton, & ORD

I think it sometimes goes to:

MKE & Norfolk.

It's only moot until Boeing offers or Delta accepts other compensation for the delay. If that compensation happens to be another model of widebody aircraft it goes from moot to food fight.

Shiz. I was just stating that I like moderating. Sorry for the use of the third person.

DC8, nothing new here.

The question gets answered but nobody knows if their answer is correct! Here is a little tidbit from the TWG notepad 9-18 that might help a little:

A pilot’s bid preference for an AE will not be awarded if the award, together with any VD/MD(s) for the same category, would create a surplus that would cause a displacement in the
category. In other words, a pilots VD or MD bid into a category will supersede a more senior pilot's AE bid to that category.

Moral of that story is if you want to move positions, your VD bids should match your AE bids just in case. And always, always have a MD bid in........again, just in case.
