On DL it likely was a 767 or L-1011; my money would be on the 762, which DL operated a very large number of in a domestic configuration on routes all over the place. ATL-PHX in the early 1990s sounds just like the kind of route DL would have flown the 762 on at the time. But it could have also been a 763 or L-1011, both of which DL was flying at the time too.

The very nice and sweet, but extremely ditzy, lady at this client just told me she's typing in ALL CAPS because it's either that or all lowercase. "It's just too hard to use the Shift key," she said. :rolleyes:

ATA, just prior to its acquistion by WN, apparently found some on Craig's List or somewhere and some guys who knew how to drive them, and flew them for a while. In this decade.

Breaking the back to back post ban, the EUR broke buck fifty at 8:30 this morning, and continues to go up, now 1.503.

icurhere2, didn't you say you have some contract that changes currency at 1.50?

By now, the back to back should be moot. Send.

+1

:D

That's pretty awesome.

like, you know, it is just so, you know, so much easier not to use it

DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?

:mad::eek::(:mad::(:(:eek:

Don't tell me this. I'm going to Italy in two weeks and since I booked this trip it has done nothing but go up. :rolleyes:

Nah, never got any time on that airframe, unfortunately. :(

ATA actually flew those planes for quite a few years before they ceased to exist. Wikipedia says they added the L-1011 to the fleet in 1998, and they still had a few at shutdown in 2008, so it completed a decade of service with them. The DC-10, on the other hand, was added to their fleet in the airline's final days — they bought several of NW's recently retired DC-10s and flew them mostly on Hawaii charter flights in 2007-2008. Those planes first came into their fleet in late December 2006.

They have a data standards document that says things like job titles should be entered in title case, example — Director of Human Resources. But apparently hitting that shift key is so hard it becomes DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES, which I guess is better than director of human resources. Either way, she's doing it wrong.

I give up. Usually I'm the data standards Nazi. Today I'm too tired to care anymore.

She does kind of talk like that. If she was blond, and from Southern California, she'd be a total Valley Girl. But she's not — she's from Hawaii. She's really sweet, and I really like her, but wow, sometimes she's like, you know, a total ditz.

That probably also has something to do with why I'm teaching a topic for the third time today, and nobody seems to remember we've done this before. They were amazed when they saw activity dates on records that coincide with the previous two training sessions because nobody remembered doing that in June, or in August.

Huh. I had it backwards. I had remembered being at the ATA gate at DEN, and there was a deadheading pilot going along to MDW who had the "wrong" bag for what I thought were their aircraft, and chatted a couple minutes about it. He was singing the praises of the L-1011, having transitioned to the DC-10. Never did fly their L-1011; only TWA's.

FWIW, for the historical record: EUR's 1.50 was not 8:30. Here it was (00065 is "bid" code, time is Central):
00065|00033|08:49:50.038|1.49997|
00065|00029|08:49:50.100|1.5|
00065|00033|08:49:50.256|1.50002|

CO1850, possible delay to aft lav failure
On the plus side, EAU cleared, and this is my first flight with DTV(ship-513)
Looks like it's going out with 5 empties up here too.

That is all
