Let me run this by folks. What would be your opinion of a "Delta job subscription service" which a guy could buy into for $21,000 a year if they were a Captain and about $15,000 a year if they were a First Officer. In exchange for buying into that service they would be given a guaranteed interview.

Would we support such a program; the sale of Delta interview slots?

On IOE, due to constructions and map shifts, yeah I actually shot an approach using the RMI with about a 30-35 knot crosswind aloft, nailed it. I was kind of proud of myself

What kind of map shift did the dc 9 have?

MD88; I was mixing metaphors.

Here it is on a trip to Heathrow. If you are in the left seat you should know better than to correct me again.

I will push the red button.

Pffft. The -50 has that fancy digital EPR display and those lame leading edge thingies.

Some guys are confident, yet humble. As well as accomplished yet grateful.

Others, not so much...........

Which is what they are flying currently.

So when they read questions about a 727 ... in two years they'll be thinking ... "if only I was a FO on a 727 ...."

Somebody done stole the throttle knobs on the "4."

As a matter of fact, the young guys getting displaced out of LA end up in SLC.

Buzz, I'm in the middle of SLC/LAX (LAS) and a BIG downside to commuting to SLC is the lack of flexibility due to the time change - you can't make ANY early reports in SLC due to changing from PST to MST. I have been based at SLC before and quite frankly the weather in LAX means you rarely have a problem getting into LAX and the time change and additional commute time (LAX is 42 minutes, SLC is 1+20), less frequency (at least from LAS) and the time change means that any small bump in seniority is quickly overridden by the down sides I mentioned.
