Pro tip: Once booked you can go to Delta.com and select my flights. Put in your locator number and you can select seats in case a upgrade does not happen. Weirdly on some flights you can get a exit row free on others there is a charge.

I've got the Q&A's re the 3 diff passes(all basically the same). I know the open jaws is now available and the 1st class. Did they do away with the change fee of $100ish or so, if you want to change the reservation dates?

Got bit by that change fee 8 or so years ago on a trip to Bangkok & Anghor Wat.

BTW have a Mai Tai for me in Hawaii. You ever been to the Brewseum in Honolulu? I guy and his wife dressed in WWII uniform had war museum next door and would give tours on Fri night(maybe SAt too) It was free they relly got into it with a fun way to drink beer while they acted as docents. Not sure the museum portion is still open

It’s easier to make a case that the threshold helps level us with AA and UA from management’s perspective. But even that is questionable — particularly from an effectiveness standpoint.

I agree. It's management being petty, greedy, and abusive. They do it because they can. And it's 100% local, regardless of that the junior ACP or CP tells you, it was up to them, not a directive from the 4th floor to specifically call you. It's selectively enforced too. This company has always been that way. You don't want to get on the CPOs radar.

The only way to fix it is to get a union that actually GAS about the line pilots, not giving themselves raises and buying themselves luxury SUVs

Some of us value their input and yes, wisdom.

You're like the college freshman that goes back to his high school's senior prom and acts like a big shot.

Lol. Thanks for your "lessons". Quite an ego you've got there.

I for one don’t mind them at all. While I don’t agree with every opinion, their knowledge of things here historically is awesome. Those that don’t know or understand history are doomed to repeat it.

I never said I was wise. Sarcastic, yes. At least I'm entertaining, not just some has been know it all who can't let it go and walk away.

When I finally hit my termination age (which I still believe will be >65 when I finally get there) you won't see me here any more. Yes, I know that makes you all happy.

Entertaining is a matter of opinion. Caustic, sure.

Oh, the irony.

At least Sailing and Buck add value to the discourse and knowledge base. Anyone who doesn’t just come here to stir up crap, and makes valuable contributions, are welcome here.

Haven't you figured out yet that you aren't going to silence/censor/cancel me, no matter how hard you try?

You do not get to be the arbiter of what is allowed here until you become a moderator, admin, or owner of the site. You're out of your league, as usual.

Bet you're an FFDO too.
