The aviation industry is known for safety and if the media smells even a tiny piece of information exposing that they will let the whole world know.Curdle1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418449001717276001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-75330721577646810522009-12-20T15:10:23.021-06:002009-12-20T15:10:23.021-06:00Why was it called Diesel-10?

LOL!<br /><br />I was mainly riding on L-10's those day as Teeny Weeny only flew them.After I lost my pass I flew Western's DC-10's a lot back and forth to the islands. Oh those days of wasted youth. <br /><br />Next month I get to fly a USAirExpress crj9 to Sin City and come home on a AA DC9. 2 more planes to add to my list.amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-14022001680385763422009-11-17T11:25:35.660-06:002009-11-17T11:25:35.660-06:00Yes, I do miss the Diesel-10.

Currently the salary and benefit package in total make up way less than 10% of the ticket price. Even if it increased from 6-7% all the way up to 10% it would be on average less that the cost of one extra bag fee. When I eat out the wait staff expects 15%. Oh, I guess that's why some pilots moonlight as waiters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631604413111054360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-74453602766617193672009-11-14T18:32:23.762-06:002009-11-14T18:32:23.762-06:00Alan, I agree..Well said.

And yet because of the hundreds of thousands of school kids that get transported each day, the school bus is still the safest way to get to school.<br />Picture: "To down or not to down?", that is the question.Andy Softleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-7940687080291602572009-11-13T21:10:27.586-06:002009-11-13T21:10:27.586-06:00For the Picture: "Ok, I found you.

Normal everday life and small succeses do not get headlines and sell advertising. <br /><br />Those that live on the daily drivel proffered by the alleged 'news' outlets, are doomed to see only the venal and low side of life-and then call that 'normal.' They are worse off by having made that choice.<br /><br />JohnJohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-19023284120174990402009-11-13T16:07:11.954-06:002009-11-13T16:07:11.954-06:00Do you miss the DC-10's?Do you miss the DC-10's?amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.com
