Look at you pick up limit before you waste your time though, you might have to park a trip to be eligible
Unfortunately I was the RES pilot in this case, and I didn't receive a call from a line pilot. Just thought it was weird since I had the trip already.

Another shameful slur from the ALPA lemmings. Since similar comments have come from slow, alfa and the other usual suspects, it must be the latest claim right off the ALPA smear fax machine. It only shows you have not read a single thing from either the DPA website or their literature.

DPA is whatever you want it to be? I can tell you that if you are hoping to give away more Scope, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA will be perfect for you. If you are hoping to keep expectations low, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA will be perfect for you. If you are hoping for legal representation who loves contructive engagement and not defending Scope clauses, DPA will not EVER be what you want it to be. But ALPA is just perfect for you.

I could go on.

I'm pretty sure the 88 and the 90 will capture the altitude in VNav even if the ALT is not armed. I don't attempt to do this on a regular basis, nor would I recommend it to my buddies.

I don't think either will capture altitude in VS or IAS mode if the ALT isn't armed, but I haven't played around on the 90 enough to act like I'm an expert.

I do watch the FMA like an expert when approaching an altitude, no matter what I'm flying.

If Delta is going to be the ever shrinking airline post - merger, then it is a valid consideration.

If we won't build a model where we do our flying, then it is just a waiting game with a pretty certain conclusion. No airline in history has ever shrunk its way to profitability and we're unlike to be the first. That is what the market is smelling and the aroma is not putting them in a buying mood.

Our losses were financed at 12 to 18%. While we have been paying off the most onerous debt relating to Goldman Sachs energy trading speculation, it left a long lasting mark.

We need to figure out some way to owe all that money to Goldman, then we'd be in the same boat as AIG.
