SCOPE is a reason to strike, especially in this situation
Scope is the key to a good marriage.

A good scope clause is key, but it does depend on whether you are the "management" in the marriage or "pilot" in the marriage.

When you're in the "management" position:


When you're in the "pilot" position with self-help:

Maybe, but Nicki has many talents that are not apparent to the outsider.

That attitude isn't going to cut the mustard. She's going to run into problems.

Exactly the reason why I will no longer be putting the beacon on when ready for push... Cleared to push or nothing. D0 will tank by 50% or more if everyone does this.

FYI- I called the CPSC and they said it's a new security mask. I was also no longer able to check in for my dhd at the kiosk. They can't get icrew to work with it. It's being "worked on."

I agree, I kept my cool and she checked me in. Had she refused to help then it would have been a little different lol

Just installed icrewmax, thumbs up! Makes logging in easier plus schedule export and various other features. Thanks for the link.

Also, will there be scope???



That should get him posting.
Been reading all day long. Just hanging out.

In the ACL household do not out source our work.

Great news, there's a DC-4 for sale.

Now, if all of those on airlinepilotforums.com/major/any-latest-greatest-about-delta.html pitch in, we'll but it. We'll call it the spirit of those who talk too much.

Now, its going to cost ole' Carl and Buzz a $140K. Then, you have to let us junior pilots get our grubby hands on it and buzz stuff.

DOUGLAS DC-4/C54B Piston Twin Aircraft For Sale At Controller.com

Because I wanted to make sure I was being impartial to both our Delta and Northwest history, I went and researched and NWA did seem to operate DC-4s. I was afraid it was just the Boeing 337, but I did see DC-4s.

And while researching I came across this, thought you NWA guys might like it:

Now back to the Southwest Buys AirTran thread where I shall post more about stapling SWA's post 1993 pilots to the bottom of the AAI list for fairness.

Interesting points from the Byod Group on the SWA?AirTran deal....
http://www.aviationplanning.com/Imag...rgerReport.pdf

Points For Consideration. Delta ostensibly has higher system CASM than does either AirTran or Southwest. To be sure, the high reliance on RJ lift is cost-problematic for Delta. On the other hand, the real consideration in competing with either AirTran or its successor Southwest will be Delta’s ability to a) gain high levels of flow traffic to buttress nonstop markets where it competes with these airlines, b) attain and maintain a strong yield premium to cover both its higher system costs as well as the much-higher ASM costs in markets where it uses RJ lift to deny AirTran (and in the future, Southwest) market share, and c) maintain high load factors.

The data at hand, illuminating Delta’s performance v AirTran at Atlanta, indicate conclusively that Delta has succeeded in all three considerations. There are no indications that this situation will change when Southwest’s Red Bellied Warriors pull up to the gate.
