Dollars for Delta Dumping

[ahw01]

This is said with all due respect but...these kinds of arrangements are typically more detailed, and employ people in their design that are paid well for having an attention to detail that allows complexity that exceeds say...click bait Rupert generated Daily Mail headlines. If the system was as poorly thought out or haphazard as you imply there would simply be no companies that could survive a catastrophic loss. It was 20 years ago today that Katrina hit. How many large companies with significant operations in the New Orleans to Biloxi corridor went under due to that massive catastrophe? I'm not talking small biz - talking large corps.

Some of those Ruperts went to Oxford or Cambridge ya know. Now whipping up headlines about immigrants, momma would be proud etc etc

Here. I’ll give you what you want.

ONG panic on campus! The end is near! That 78 million was a CRUSHING BLOW and I don’t think we’re going to recover. We’re thirsty for ALK to acquire us and staple our corpse to the bottom of their list. Halp! Halp!

How’s that increase in oxytocin?

I mean I feel bad for him. That’s some next level syndrome right there.

I'll just put this out there: if you didn't fly piston airliners for either of the two REAL airlines TWA or Pan Am like my grandpa then you are a worthless POS pretender and your airline sucks. I SAID WHAT I SAID!!!

Seems weird there was no self-destruct on this (or at least not used). Just drop ordinance on yourself instead.

Though, I guess destroying a giant rocket not that far over your head wouldn't lead to much better results.

I mean, NASA flight termination systems and trajectories are both designed to ensure that should pieces return to earth, they do not pose a hazard. No such concern in other places I suppose.

One rando trip FO hands me one of these. “Hey cool. Thanks bro. Yo wait what is this about?”

It’s a dig at Delta. There are stickers that are less subtle.

So I’m just holding this thing wondering what to do with it and it makes me sad because I know the Delta dudes are like this:

I think I’ve earned my JAWS/juneau stripes and even I think that’s cringe AF

Negative. It didn’t address how corporate insurance can continue to pay out more every year and not make up on the revenue side.

I didn't think I could be more embarrassed to work at ALK...

There’s a solution:

www.airlineapps.com

And don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Might need to work on your interview skills though.


“TMAAT you handled a work conflict.”


“I got on a plane that was boarding on a hot day and the pilots didn’t turn the APU on and I was sweating.”



“Oh, so you discreetly told the pilots via FAs? Directly in flight deck? Or via PA call to the flight deck?”



“Psssh. No of course not. I did what a true aviator would do. I started a thread on our internal pilot forum and called out both CA and FO by name for burning us on a hot plane with the APU off.”







Of course, Delta be like………..

Not the 350. The guidance pushes you TOWARD an auto landing while overweight.

Same with the 330, as long as it’s below the max weight for an Autoland, which is virtually always.

He’ll never wrap his head around the fact no one can be an expert on everything.

You didn't read anything I wrote, did you? I'm like one of the 7 members that don't have you on ignore - you should at least try to keep up.

Wait you mean I can block seeing their posts?

One would assume reinsurers are taking a hit. But 77m is not even pocket change in the grand scheme of things. Thinking more like hurricanes or 9/11 type stuff.

That is the point. Well designed plans are geared toward allowing the self-insured entity to cover risk, improve cash flow, and capture some underwriting profit while laying off risk on catastrophic claims to reinsurance.

He won't attempt to understand things that don't effect him directly, because they don't effect him directly. The good thing is he can't do a damn thing to change how big business works, I have no idea what his fantasy might be but I'd be willing to bet he'd be in charge of everything.

Truth.

It would be an even shorter-lived Kiwi Airlines! . “I’m an airline captain…OF INDUSTRY!”

 

[MikeD]

Did the crew get in any trouble, or was anything disseminated to the pilot group for the fleets where fuel dump is an option, reviewing the procedures for doing so?

I really didnt follow it closely. They generally don’t announce “We fixed the glitch!”

The big news stories in the popular media 9 times out of 10 aren’t even issues on the land side of the operation so on a corporate level, all I know is what you read in the news.
