I was fortunate to be one of the few pilots to operate Air Canada's 1937 Lockheed L10A Electra CF-TCC...Although logging only 48hrs in 2006-2008 on special anniversary, promotional and charity flights, it was nice to re-live the the hands-on operations of that era... much different than the digital environment pilots are accustomed to now.
Mr. Bellemare did not have a good track record with Bombardier. Hope Delta's upper management will keep him on a short leash until he can prove he is up to the task.
