As both 747 and myself have stated, there may be operational situations where there is a second crew onboard. These can include cancelled flights, mechanicals, sick crew...</font>
To read the threads here, one can almost assume that those "operational" flights are pretty standard operating proceedure and that they occur quite frequently. I have clearly stated that based on my experience Delta has operated flights with two crews. It appears that I have flown more of these then you
hfly, but that doesn't distract from the fact that those flights do in fact occur. You and
B747 can argue to the teeth about the circumstances under which those flights occur, but unless you are willing to go on record as saying those "operational" flights don't have pax then your arguement is flawed. I respect both you and
B747's knowledge of flights, and I concur with you that double-crew flights do in fact occur. I just think that they occur more frequently than you realize.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Asking whether Delta has ever ever ever had a double crew is disingenuous, especially in light of your earlier posts and suggests once again that you are only trying to cause trouble.</font>
hfly, you seem to have trouble with people who express opinions different than your own. If the contents of my posts are so upsetting to you why is it that you keep coming back for more? I suggest that it is really you that is stirring the water with your "i fly more than you" statements.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Why don't you just finally admit that you were/are plain wrong, stop playing with newly created semantics, and move on.</font>
Because I have both you and
B747 backing up my statements. Why don't you admit that these types of flights happen, and that they happen quite freqently.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">BTW, it doesn't matter which routes you have flown. With the exception of about 4 current long haul Delta routes, I have flown ALL of them and speak from real experience as do many others on this board, your comments indicate that you have not.</font>
Oh, I see... This is one of those "my flight is longer than your flight" statements.
hfly, leave statements like that back at the playground.
