In my limited experience, it seems that they usually have had the part needed... and when necessary, they often find us another airplane. But it still results in significant maintenance delays at a much higher rate than I've previously experienced on any aircraft at any of my three airlines. My understanding is that these maintenance delays and/or cancellations didn't happen as much prior to the merger.
Through process of elimination, the only other reasonable explanation is that it has something to do with DAL-S pilots flying 'em.

What do you guys think Delta will do with all the money they're making by saving on the massive fines?

HA! YEAH! Who's Glee? I was just looking for a picture of a tough high school coach.

But after having done a quick search on this "Glee" show 80 loves, I have to ask...



A) That's allowed on TV? Damn you Fox! All conservative on FNC and all MTV on Fox. I am joining the cultural worriers over this. But I had to post it to show everyone else. Because I knew how upset you guys would be. Let's write some letters.

B) The picture of the C-141 must be on the other side of the room or something.

Due to this not being airline related... only abort when you get a red light with an aural warning. Not a red light nor a caution light with an aural warning, but a red light with an aural warning.

So are you saying that, with all the obsession over doing every single switch/item in an exact order on preflight, DAL-N pilots are missing stuff?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
