[QUOTE=volav8r1;925683]Can any of you computer guru's help?!

I am trying to get the LMS content to work on my laptop. I am using Internet Explorer 8 with Windows Vista.

When I click on the content in LMS I get a pop-up that says I need Authorware 7. Well, Authorware 7 is not compatible with Windows Vista according to the Adobe site.

Tried downloading Flash Players, tried running the LMS on Firefox, etc...

Called IT yesterday and their response was: "You're just going to have to play around with it". (Second call to them in 2 weeks, with no help. My QCQ Completion Code wouldn't work and I was told to redo my QCQ on another computer. . . . Seriously?!)

Download Internet explorer version 6 and authorware

Even on a Windows system I had errors associated with launching the CD.

The CD. I was trying to open it and it had about three error codes on it. I was able to bypass those and get it to run, but have not seen if it will do the coursework. I will try later today.

After reading your review, I made the decision to return to the right seat of something big and comfortable before I'd go to the DC9. I'm sure it's a fine airplane, but I already went backwards in technology (73N --> 737-200), and vowed I'd never do that again.
I love the 88, and for all it's warts, would like to stay on it for a very long time. But when I went to it 3+ years ago, I never imagined I'd be worse off seniority-wise for this long. I'm just about at my limit on hot, cold, and wet airplanes with the maddog, so enduring more from her older, special sister doesn't enter into my plans.

FWIW I ran it on the same setup with no problems. Although I did have problems with the completion code. I tried entering it on my computer and the company computers. No luck. Then today I entered it in iCrew and got a message stating that it was alread entered. Who knows anymore with this setup.

Say DAL pays ASA cost +10%.

ASA already increases "cost" for de-icing, ramp, etc. They are going to keep their 10% margins (minus performance penalties of course).

DAL is just "taking back" the money it had in the first place.
(and in turn the IRS is getting a crack at that money twice, leaving less for us).

Thats not how for the most part it has worked. Delta takes on the underwing for DCI. They don't generally hire additional people to handle that. Their head count remains static at the station. DCI gets to unload a bunch of employees and reduce their costs. They pay Delta. Overall the entire operation is much more efficient. DCI does not charge more on the cost plus because Delta is billing them for the services. They are already paying Delta less for those services then it cost them originally.

As far as why not pilots the answer is simply. There is no reduction in headcount. In fact under mainline work rules your pilot headcount goes up quite a bit.

Also, the trips suck, here's hoping for a displacement. I spent most of my career going to Asia and Europe, LIT & BHM doesn't do it for me. Some guys like it, but most are looking to get off it. YMMV."

I concur with what he said. It's fun to hand fly, but other than that, I'mm looking forward to my 2 year freeze thawing and moving on to something that flies longer legs. The trips have gone downhill, lots of 30+ hour layovers in garden locations like LIT, MSN, FNT, and to make up for the sit time, you fly 5 legs/day the other days. This may be partly fixed by the ATL base opening, but who knows? Short answer, plane is fun, but the trips suck. I cant wait to get back to int'l flying, or at least seeing something west of MCI.
