Anyone know what's up with Icrew Max? Apparently Delta has cut off their access to ICrew.

I don't know but the tone of the 'pop-up' sounded like its probably done for.

You get one Authorized Personal Drop every year... it allows you to drop a trip or up to four days of reserve coverage as long as reserves available are >25% of reserves required (but can be denied over holidays). Basically much more latitude for you to drop days.

Bottom line, if reserves available are more than reserves required, use a Personal Drop (which are unlimited as long as reserve coverage is positive) and save your APD for next time.
Your pay is affected isn't it? Say you drop one day in a month where your guarantee is 72. You won't get paid 72 right?

Haha what I find the most amusing is watching the handful of ALPA guys parrot each other here....

The fact is a whole bunch of guys have sent in DPA cards. Yes some were lookieluers and some let their card expire but there is still a boat load of guys sick to death of business as usual at (D)ALPA. I would say the anti DPAers should focus on cleaning their own house before pointing fingers. It's pretty messed up over there. Leadership can't even follow their own mandates one week to the next. The hostility toward DPA makes me think a bunch of ALPA guys are getting nervous their cushy lifestyle and gravytrain premium pay situation might be in jeopardy.

TC has said a few boneheaded things I will give you that. We all have when pushed. That said, for the record he has many times said HE is not anointing himself king (ala the way ALPA might) and ultimately wont be at the helm of DPA. Leadership at DPA will be elected and the hierarchy infrastructure will eliminate a lot of the BS "thinking and deciding on our behalf" we have to put with under an ALPA/Moak administration. Rant over.

I don't think its accurate to dismiss their views as "parroting"....and it doesn't seem to me to be anti-DPA hostility or antipathy, it is just that the DPA is largely irrelevant. That is the point, and I think it is an accurate one.

Anyone else think Icrew max is getting a little greedy?

I find the app useful, but $12/month seems a little steep.
(Regardless of the annual discount)
As useful as the app is, I don't think it justifies a monthly subscription.
Don't plan on renewing even though I like the app's usability.
