She got about 30 minutes in a 320 sim and still thinks JetBlue is way better than Delta. She liked the Delta dinner, but didn't even compare to what JetBlue did for spouses. She couldn't believe that Delta put us up in the Comfort Inn on VA which was a total dump.
When I was hired in 01, they had spouses, GFs or parents come for 2 1/2 days. Put everyone up in the Renaissance hotel. Went over everything about the company. History, benefits, non rev travel, bidding, who to call and what to do in family emergency. Dinner was first or second night, I don't remember which. Tour was on third day.
I guess we really have went downhill in some areas.
