For me, at least, it's a big point in favor of flying United when all else is equal. Here’s another vote for an audio channel devoted to ATC.

Several other people at FlyerTalk http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=489 have mentioned that as well. Hopefully some of the customer insight people will be reading.

I'll be glad to show exactly what is in my "brain bag." Here is the short list of what's in MY flightkit: - all the charts to get into and out of the airports my airplane flies into - operational manuals for my plane - rules and regulations - two flashlights - and some pictures of my family Revisions arrive every two weeks for the charts and such. Revisons for the other manuals occur roughly every quarter. tailwinds, Robin TriStar Fan,

I overheard these bags are known as a pilots' brain bag. What items are being kept inside the bag and how often does stuff have to be updated throughout their careers?

Besides "Ship 41", what other old planes do you have in that off-limits hanger at ATL, and are they in flying condition? What will become of "The Spirit of Delta", is it going to fly again, or is it done? Glad they have put a pilot on here, I anxiously await your additional postings and videos. And I will agree with TinFlyer, put ATC up on one of the channels. It's more interesting than the reruns on DELTA TV.

Please shed some light on the many complex issues of what goes on behind the scenes of running the airline. If people really understood how DL isn't out to "ruin my Christmas" when the following happens: * Why can't Delta just send another plane if mine is broke? * We have clear skies here and why is the plane late because of weather? As a former Air Line employee, I've always thought to myself, "if the flying public only knew...." type stuff. OCC to the R E S C U E.
