Nope! But the crew resources memo stated it won't be 1:1.
I didn't know we had 73N's without IFE. Are you saying the 900's won't have it? Or we have some without now? I flew it for over a year, but didn't spend much time in the back - mercifully.
I assume the 900s will be delivered with it. About 30 of the 800s don't have it. My ever increasing juniority and the perennial rsv that has come with it has given me more than enough opportunities to survey the cabins of the Delta fleet in all the deadheads that get bestowed upon me.
I agree there are many aspects and none can be fixed overnight. C2012 did not "make all my wildest dreams come true." All I'm continuing to say is:
1. I think we're better positioned for good things than we were prior to this contract
2. Things will get moving as the airplanes show up. It takes time to implement and we collectively have short attention spans and little patience.
and
3. We gave up some efficiencies in the work rules that the roadshows clearly laid out. We got better scope, work rules and extra $ in return. Overall I weighed it to be good enough to vote for and so I did. To each his own.
Good night all - my wife's giving me the "get off the internet" stinkeye
Fair enough... the light at the end of the tunnel is the airplanes showing up, but that's been damped a bit by hiring somehow continuing to always be "next year" and the "next bid" being the positive one. I guess I'm getting a bit fussy waiting for things to turn around.
