The pilots seem to understand, but does it bother the company that a lot of their pilots are looking elsewhere? Sounds like the fellas in Flight Ops might care but they also seem not to have much pull in the big scheme of things.

Maybe some of the 'senior' posters can recall days of yore when the jr DAL pilots were equally nervous about the future and then it all worked out OK.

Mine took a bath in the MD88 when it was 2 weeks old. I hadn't gotten my otterbox yet for it and so as we started to move I noticed that slick little devil was about to take a long fall. So just put it in a safe place... like the cup holder!

Coming through 20,000' or so I look over and decide to move it... that's when I realized it'd been headlong into about 2" of water. It took everything, and I mean everything, not to turn it on to see if it was okay.

I felt like I had one option which was to heat it up so I wedged it in the glareshield and the heated windshield and let it bake in the sun for the 2-3 hour flight.

It's worked for I guess 2-3 years now. I still think the camera is fuzzy but it's a 3Gs so that just may be how it is.

From experience the rice trick absolutely works. The hardest part is the not turning it on to see i it works now. You've just got to let it go.

Heyas,

Bar's messages are right on.

For some reason, some people have convinced themselves (or have allowed themselves to be convinced), that scope is a lost cause.

I'm going to given them the benefit of the doubt, and say they aren't truly bad people, but are acting on their feeling that if scope IS a lost cause, then it's best to extract some gains for other parts of the seniority list or other parts of the working agreement.

BUT, any give on that would be political suicide, at least at this stage of the game, with a restless pilot group, and a nacient organization waiting in the wings.

So, watch for a change in how the argument is framed.

BP,

Pm me sometime about Purple

Thinking of doing the same. Wife has the 4s and has had some trouble. Apple says they can't duplicate the problem and gave her an oh well. I have been looking at the note to replace my 3gs. I was worried with the size. Do you carry it in your pocket? Does the phone case make it much bigger? I like the size, just wandering if it would really be practical to keep in your pocket.

Could compromise with a Galaxy II S (or as Sprint calls it, "Epic 4G Touch).

Get them for free with new service through Amazon.

If you are thinking Sprint, might want to wait until the new EVO 4G LTE comes out next month. Not sure I'd want to go WiMax for two years right now. (for Apple users including "4G," LTE is about 20 times faster than your current data service, WiMax is 4 to 10 times faster)
