Marlowe's. It's pretty good, but put me down as another huge thumbs up for Commisary. Best BBQ I ever ate, and I ate a lot of it killing time on reserve down there.

Where is the Commisary? I'm going to have to try it next time I have a long layo.

Unfortunately it's in Germantown. Not layover friendly. But, if you ever have access to a car it's well worth the trip.

Ahhhh, I now know where you are talking about and it has always got great reviews from everyone I know who has gone there. I'll get there soon.

Thanks.

Standard 121 training is every 12 months (Capts get a checkride every 6) unless they have a CRM program with LOFT and then they can extend to 12 months.

Delta is going to the new footprint in order to add additional LOFTs for each theatre. It doesn't really save them much money in terms of training but ensures that all of the int'l pilots are always theatre qualified if they were to get called out or WS.

I'm sure it is ignorance on my part, but I have flown to all the theatres and don't really understand what the hubbub is. In fact, about a month ago, when I was reading the memo on all the theatre qualification requirements, there was only one thing that stood out to me - We are going to need a heck of a lot more line check airmen.

The most challenging theatre is not africa or south america, it is the part of the India flight when you are flying over Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. There is nothing but opportunity to make CNN international there -and there is no theatre qual. Africa and SA just have poor radar coverage and SA has a few decompression routes and ball notes.

I just dont know why there is so much being made of theatres. I do know why guys make a big deal of malaria. The EMphasis is on the wrong SYllable.

OK...seems T-Square still has the martini. I did not say we must maintain a toxic relationship with management.

What I am saying is make the call...get paid...and file the grievance so that your other DAL pilots don't have to be abused by DAL.

Last reply.....................have fun

1 year is $1200. That's regional pay.

But then I get the 2nd one and feel better.

You can't continue the process if you have been made whole which is normally the case if you are correct in the first place.
Where the process falls apart and fails is when a union or individual insists on pursuing a grievance that has no merit. If you do this often you poison the well for pilots going through the process in the future. Federal mediators have a memory. They know who wastes their time and yanks their chain. This can come back to truly haunt a pilot group at some point. Think about the next merger because there will be a next one!

I was going to look but I'm on a 24 hr Cancun layo so I wasn't spending time inside. I am now though, because its raining.

Nice. I'm still waiting for that one. Just need someone to call in sick so I can cover it. Doing Sacramento on Memorial Day so think I'll check out Raging Waters Waterpark. I hear it's nearby.

It's actually a little more enjoyable in Feb/Mar/Apr. Temp is around 75-80 degrees then. Today it was 90+ degrees. Still good scenery though, and cheap food/beer.
