No more room for waffles on this trip!

Sunrise approaching Lisbon Wife joined me on a Brussels layover. Lots of beer, chocolate and frites were consumed!

I wouldn’t pay for Jepp on my own dime but if given the option I’d take Jepp over government charts any day.

Get a degree from a cheap state school and fly concurrently.

The average hand flying time on my fleet is 8 minutes. I try to do at least that on every flight. It really doesn’t take much skill to follow a flight director direct to a fix so that gets old quickly. They want us to hand fly more but then they put restrictions in our manual like the AP has to...

Wow that video was terrible:(

No that guy’s a new hire. Still a cool story!

We do have a 26 year old captain at delta:eek:

Not yet!

Sounds like a great job! Have fun
