gate check on delta goes to baggage claim(mainline). only strollers come up to gate.

Most airlines including Delta forbid wearing the uniform unless you are working or going to and from work. You are not permitted the liquid exemption for normal non rev travel. TSA hates KCM and is looking for every chance to kill it and other crew entry programs. Let's not give them ammunition!

^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^

They are constantly catching crew members abusing the entry programs, including a few FFDO's who are now out of the program. The odds of getting nabbed are higher than one might think, and you could face prosecution if the violation is severe enough. And you might be surprised what is considered severe. Just don't do it. And if you know someone who is or is planning to do it, you owe it to them and to your crew members who rely on these programs to get them to stop.

A checked-size bag will not fit through the x-ray machine which are meant for carry-ons. Only other option is walking through KCM which I don't want to do with a the size of a standard checked bag.

Did not think we could use KCM unless we were "at work."

If it's that big a problem, use your Corporate discount and FedEx or Delta Dash the bag to yourself.

How big is that bag? I always carry my 24" TravelPro that is usually expanded to its limits and I've NEVER had a problem with it fitting through any airport's xray machine....

(regular TSA, as I don't have KCM privileges.)

If you're jumpseating on Delta and you want to check a bag just go to the ticket counters they will create a listing for you and check the bag.

Microsoft's next OS is Windows 10, will ship later in 2015
The Intel Core M seems to be worth the wait as well.

Yeah, they skipped 9 because the name wasn't "big" enough, hmmm. They are still saying it is a free upgrade for 8.1 users, so...fingers crossed.

Windows 8.1 pro has been, so far, the best Windows yet for me, even on desktop. The thing is, you have to sit down and customize the GUI first. I think many people took one look at it, and went "bleh", and that was that. It certainly is more productive than my MacPro OSX, and so far, it has been more stable too.

Although, I think for the EFB's, they should have went with Apple, as the user interface is more for everyone, while Windows leans more towards the tech savoy.
