(Your not required to like all that, I just happen to appreciate those things). The layover's are the same repetitive mix of cities but I could personally care less, my kids and I can explore new places on vacation. The last two years I feel what I just listed pretty much holds true currently. All subject to change of course. And I bid down to reserve on purpose living in base (Is it really bidding "down" though?). I'm (40% B) able to bid a three on/four off RSV sked pretty consistently all month which limits the amount of abuse that can be piled on. (I'm curious how the new 18 Hr LC will work with a 3on/4off rsv sked) Crews are great for the most part, possibly the combination of newer FO's, younger CA's, or the average-joe this plane attracts but for the most part everyone is easy to work with and not too busted up and jaded. I think you'd enjoy it, it's a good intro-to-delta plane IMO.

thank you very much for the detailed response. You confirmed what a friend told me.

he did complain about seats being really worn out and hard on his back. Any truth to that?
