Did you see the whole postings?

Fleet Captain: Must have excellent verbal skills. Should have demonstrated abilities to turn off the lights. Must have professional haircut and winning smile for cover of ALPA Magazine's "Goodbye Comair" special edition.

Chief Pilot: Must be fully versed in Pilot Working Agreement. Has six months to have working knowledge of 121 regulations and closing the doors. Must be right seat qualified and willing to operate last flight into sunset with Fleet Captain.

Is there an open position in the union? If so, does it require the 'mustache'?





Because we're all wondering how long till Moak sports one? It's got to be a requirement somewhere. I mean sports won.

Look for multiplying chins brought on by sudden Las Vegas BOD buffet syndrome. Once that occurs, the mustache is the next symptom of Herndonitis.

Aircell, the provider of Gogo In-Flight Internet service on Delta aircraft, announced Wednesday that it is unveiling an expanded technology roadmap for the delivery of its Gogo service, including the eventual addition of satellite technology.

“Our customers already enjoy access to 555 Wi-Fi equipped aircraft on our domestic mainline fleet and will soon enjoy access to an additional 223 Wi-Fi equipped Delta Connection jets by the end of 2011,” Delta said in a statement. “With more than 2,200 flights daily, Delta operates the largest fleet of Wi-Fi enabled aircraft in the world. We are pleased that the in-flight Wi-Fi industry is moving in a direction that takes the needs of global airlines into consideration. We look forward to reviewing new connectivity options for our customers.”

In addition to Aircell’s existing Air-to-Ground (ATG) technology, the company announced it will enable connectivity via a next generation version of ATG called “ATG-4.” ATG-4 will enhance the existing ATG network and improve per aircraft capacity by approximately four times its current performance, and is scheduled for commercial delivery beginning in the first half of next year.

Aircell also announced it will offer “Ka-band” satellite technology, which will provide additional capacity to supplement what is available through ATG, ATG-4 and current generation satellite technology. The new technology will enable Gogo service beyond the continental U.S. by 2015, and will be available in the continental U.S. in 2013.

“Aircraft with missions beyond [the continental United States] will benefit from the geographic flexibility a satellite solution provides,” Aircell said in a release.
