Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

There are definitely cheaper ways than the standard empty your wallet for 15 years like we have now. I took almost all my classes at a community college. They taught 300-400 level courses there for cc rates. The last 30 credits I had to pay the Riddle rates. Those 30 credits were expensive but my total 4 year bill was extremely cheap. Since it wasn't a popular way to get a degree my largest class size was 6 students. I think I had the best education for the money.
There are ways to get your electives out of the way for nothing. Several government agencies (for example FEMA) offer accredited credits for taking their training courses. Go to their website. You order and they mail you the book, you read the book, the test questions are at the end, you either mail in or input online your answers. Instant 1-3 accredited credit hours per course. FEMA offers about 15-20 courses.

Flav was the last one off my 88 in ATL one day. I helped him with his baby stroller while he put a clock on. He is a little dude but waaaay cool. His little kid was pretty cute, even with his genes!!! haha
He and his surreal life fling, Brigitte Nielsen, remind me of an old saying......If your nose to nose your toes are "in it", if your toes to toes your nose is in it!!!![Big Grin](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Assuming the panel approves these rules eventually, they will cost taxpayers $575 million a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office's scoring of the 2010 law. Once in effect, borrowers will not have to pay more than 10% of their "discretionary income" each year, regardless of how much they owe. The government defines discretionary income as the difference between the borrower's adjusted gross income and 150% of the federal poverty line. If the money isn't completely paid back in 20 years, the remaining debt will be forgiven.
That's right. Wait 20 years and, presto, you're student debt-free.
Remember, student loans from the government are available regardless of credit history or assets, so default rates are high and have been rising—to 8.8%, according to the most recent government data. Add the possibility that people can choose or end up in occupations that pay low salaries, and the taxpayer loses again. A student who finances an expensive education and then pursues a career with meager salaries could be sticking taxpayers with five- or even six-figure losses by year 20. The loan then becomes a very expensive grant.
It gets even more expensive for taxpayers when student borrowers take a "public service" job after graduation, thanks to a program that began in 2007. "Public servants" can get all of their remaining federal student-loan debt forgiven after only 10 years. This applies to government employees such as teachers and to workers at nonprofits.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans Delta pilots are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there are needed to fly MD88's and MD90's, which have unreliable maps and, uh, I believe our training department, like, such as in South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere, get their training via CD and should help over here with flying these airplanes like we do, uh, or, should fly to cities here in the U.S. so regional pilots can help fly to the South America, the Caribbean and such as and help Asia so they can buy new airplanes. We can help build up our future, for our children, by hiring none of them.
Without the Catlin speak, they need people to fly the MD's and aren't going to hire. I'll give you any number of guesses as to how they staff unpopular airplanes in unpopular bases without hiring anyone. I'd imagine some of the higher math going on in the puzzle palace is figuring out how many pilots can get pushed back through the short course.
(and for those who don't like the term "unpopular" ... It is more than irony that the MD's are staffed by MD's)
Bucking Bar ... embracing the suck ... beats a furlough.

When guys like me realize we're the ONLY ONES paying our bills, we'll start moving away from places with systems we deem "unfair."
I'm nearly giddy that Hank Greenburg is suing the US government over the AIG fiasco. About time.
