Any Idea Why?........
 

.........as a veop'er I can't log into delta net? Haven't had need to do it recently and it's like I don't exist.....kind of like when I was working......I'm trying to change my withholding.........Party on Wayne..........

Your access to the "normal" deltanet site was (or should have been) revoked the day you separated. There is a different site for retirees - deltanet.delta.com

You can access the self-service portal from there.

Congrats and thanks for helping out the younger folks... from another VEOP'er.

I'm still a normal day to day employee and have no idea why I have to do these things often before I can accomplish basic, every day tasks like list for a commute, check in for a DH, bid, access icrew...

But for what it's worth from a young buck, you VEOPers have my humblest thanks.

That did the trick.......Thanks. I'm glad I pulled the plug. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun out there plus they took my mad doggie away....

Yep I took the early out, last day was 10/31/2020. On 11/01/2020 no longer was allowed into regular "Delta Net" .

Congrats Turbo, enjoy your retirement!

Still trying to figure out how to BE retired........It's weird

In a year you will wonder how you ever found time to hold down a straight job.

This Chinese flu BS isn't making retirement any easier. I refuse to travel until everything is open and this mask nonsense is behind us. It's kind of limiting my options. My yard (6 acres of it) has never looked better, however!

There are plenty of BS free options at destinations in FL and TX. Just suffer through the mask in transit. The level of openness varies by county, city and sometimes individual businesses.

As one of the UNA's, thank you for taking the retirement. I'm thankful for the sacrifices you all made. It's going to be hard to go back to work, all this time off has been truly exceptional.

Enjoy your retirement!

I will be driving for the foreseeable future.......All these years of flying over everything....I want to SEE the world's largest ball of twine, etc. Going to do the Lincoln Hwy, Rt 66, etc......My buds in Fla say "come on down."

Sounds fantastic. Enjoy the side roads. Most of the good stuff doesn't have an address that starts with "Interstate".

I’m down in KW for a music fest, it appears COVID is over.

Check Nomadic Fanatic on You Tube, lot of good info.

Will do.....thanks for that

You will not regret it. I have been back and forth across America several times in the last 12 months. Some on the interstate, most not. You will realize that all the political maskerading and virtue signal shouting resides in a tiny but loud percentage of the population. Like you, no plans to visit an airport or airline in the foreseeable future.

Welcome to Florida. Where common sense prevails.

Same here, lithium batteries, solar panels and a small generator. Go anywhere with all the conveniences.

Congrats Hank, Denny, Turbo and everyone else jumping off he hamster wheel. Enjoy doing whatever you want. You've definitely earned it.

Drive the ALCAN
 

When Canada opens up, you’ve got to drive the ALCAN, at least one direction, from the Lower 48 through BC and Yukon all the way to Anchorage and/or Fairbanks, or back the other way.

Some people rent rigs and drive one way and either fly or cruise the other.

Get The Milepost. I see it’s still in print, but I bet they have an electronic version that would work with a phone or tablet. It’s a running list of things to see along the way. Fascinating details and history of stuff along the way. https://themilepost.com/

You'll end up staying in the same campgrounds as a lot of other people you’ll start to recognize and make friends.

Make a summer of it. Drive up and spend time exploring with your rig. You will not regret it.

To paraphrase a quote from a writer I can’t remember, if you’re old, go see Alaska now. If you’re young, see the rest of the world first and save the best for last. I’d wager you’re in the former group! Go do it!

‘Thanks! I still have 4 months to go but am looking soooooo forward to doing exactly what you said......getting off the hamster wheel!:) So apropos!

Denny

Just got my rig, that's on my bucket list.

Any Idea Why?........
 

It’s on my list too, as soon as those crazy Canadians open the border. I may go next summer, whether or not I retire... I figure I just need to string about 60 days together, if I can pre position my rig in Seattle at my kids place, then jump into the journey from there. I was going this year, but the Canadians have trashed my plan this year. I’m still considering flying up to anchorage and renting a class C for two weeks. Two weeks with mileage and insurance is about $4500, but it saves about 9000 road miles from and to ATL, which translates to about $3000 in fuel alone. Renting a RV isn’t that bad, especially if you are time limited. But driving The ALCAN is on my bucket list.

Be sure to have windshield insurance

I feel by leaving when I did I am actually purchasing additional life expectancy. Good rest, good food, no stress, more exercise than I had. Haven't worn a wristwatch since I left and don't expect I ever will again. The physical act of flying I miss A LITTLE.....everything else about it.......nope. Every day is Saturday

Nice game plan

this is one of my dreams right here.

I always thought it'd be super cool to drive from Key West all the way to Alaska. Or even push it further and drive from the southern tip of Argentina all the way to the northern tip of Alaska...but I think there's a stretch in Central America that's unpassable?

you can ship your vehicle/motorcycle across the Darien gap. It’s very common

thanks oofff and wolf.

Not going to derail this thread...look for a new one about this stuff. :)

Enjoy
 

Been out 6 months now I miss the left seat on big sexy (A-350). However have always enjoyed cross country motorcycling , doing much more of that now. Also now building my RV-14 wonder how I had time to work. Enjoy the retirement you earned it.
