Guess I'm going to be part of the runtime test for the new A330 ground school. I promise to go REAL slow.

If anyone is at the ATL school house next month, beer is on the Ferd (isn't that what perdiem is for?)

Ferd;
It sounds like you have been assimilated.

May I recommend the 1/2 smoked chicken at the BBQ kitchen, it's breathtaking.

I did the same thing for the 320... Let's just say I did everything in my power to ensure a nice long run time.


BTW- the new 330 syllabus, you walk in on day 1 and take the SV. ***? The new 320 syllabus is similar but with a day or 2 of "ground." It is not what us Delta South guys are used to with the CD and then a week of ground... and even moreso for the North guys. All the fleets are going to this E-qual stuff that will change over to a similar footprint. Cutting a bit too deep... I think the failures on the SV are going to go way up.

two questions for the brethren:

Car guy question: I have been offered a non number matching, 2000 miles since restoration, 1970 corvette roadster 4spd. Nice looking, riding and driving car. Anyone got any idea what this car is worth in today's economy, I'm thinking $11k and I cant be hurt.

Investor question: AGQ - What the eff? Is it a buy or is it going lower?

I don't know!

True, but it was Delta's marketing scam.

Does anyone know if the Delta pilots in the advertisements were real Delta pilots?

I had a good time there and liked the people, but at the end of the day I felt like the guy who signed up for a four year stint in the Army because his Army recruiter told him "Sure we can send you to SEAL school, if that's what you want."

Boomer for Delta pilot, next hiring cycle.

....and, Gloopy for MEC chairman... if we actually had a vote in the process.

Oh, and this:





On top of all that, the DPA got 4 more cards tonight over dinner. ALPA needs to start dancing.

One week we're talking about owning a small businesses or second businesses, of whatever SB meant.

But it was things like an automatic ice machine business, or a business where you employ 30-100 people, or flipping houses business, or slumlord business, or a business that makes computers... or owning a computer that makes businesses.

Anyways, let's put 2 and 2 together.

1. Pilots = Transportation
2. (Some) Pilots = Strip Clubs
3. We have a base in DTW.

So it took less than a week for one of you DTW based pilots to roll out the...

1 week. Now that's some turn time.
