Its is with a great pleasure that I announce that Don Baker is the newest L-1011 First Officer. Don is is a real world Delta employee that works on the Sims including the L-1011 and will be a huge asset to the program. Can't wait to see you on the left seat Mr. Baker!!!

I don't mean to start anything bruno, but why would he work on the sims if the L-1011 was retired?

Thanks for the welcome. I work on the L1011 Simulators at Delta Airlines. . . I actually work on all the simulators but the L1011 is my favorite. We have 3 1011 sims but only on is powered up and used. We rent time on it to ATA. If any of you 1011 lovers come to Atlanta, let me know and I'll get you in to fly the beast around the block.

Congrats Don! Theres something abut the L-1011 lately I've seen quite a few pilots, including myself either earning the L-1011 rating or joining the program as a whole. None of which is a bad thing smile
