And from my perspective, the airports have been crowded. I could go on but I am truly thankful to be employed. That being said, I would trade all of the perks you mentioned to get the industry back to where it was in 2019.
Just passing through but thought I'd share some updates on commuting with Delta.
There is a new internal policy making it easier to calculate seats available. This also makes the numbers more accurate online (DeltaNet, Staff Traveler, etc.).
With the recent LOA passage, positive space commuting starts in December and runs for at least 13 months. Jumpseats should be easier to find.
Masks are now required for all jumpseaters.
That is all, bye bye now. Happy Thanksgiving!
