Any more rumors on the upcoming bid? Besides MEM DC9 possibly going away, any other large movements?

Awesome labrador dog fetches a beer from fridge for owner! HOW cool!? - YouTube
The young F/A?
Not so much...
(I know this only because 25 years ago I married a young F/A, she still won't get me a beer or 'roll over'!)

Sorry, it wasn't meant that way.......Our tickets would vaporize if we did that. So much for Captain’s authority. I think Delta does a great job supporting their Captains.

No offense taken. My biggest beef with the FAA is I think way too often guys dump gas rather than land overweight for no other reason than they are afraid of the FAA. If you have a long dry runway and there is no problem controlling the airplane, there is no reason a crew should not land overweight.

There are degrees of overweight. I don't think I'd try one 200,000# overweight unless I was on fire in a bad way.

I think you may be right about some fear of the faa. Not necessarily unjustified since your livelihood may be on the line, but:
I don't know if it is official DAL policy, but in an emergency, they are supportive of dumping fuel until you arrive at the field you are going to land at, ceasing the dumping operation, and landing. Just dont forget to run the overweight landing checklist.
There are times when dumping to get yourself to normal landing weight is justified.
Captain's authority is still alive.

You can't land cloaked. There are significant limitations on trying to fly cloaked on impulse speed, too. Only warp speed is certified for unlimited cloaking operations. You can be tracked, too. Tachion emissions will get you every time.
