I don't know that there is a place but you can always ask the agent to put you on the PSUP list.

Not affiliated with DL but would be interesting to hear the back story from any of you that know the crews from either of the 777's involved in the DL201 incident from Jan 9th. Must have been quite the phone call to get to go take a 777 (believe it was N703DN) to Ascension Island with some mechanics on board to pick up the pax. Once in a lifetime opportunity for sure. I must say bloody outstanding job by the crew of DL201 (N705DN) getting into FHAW in the middle of the night with what I understand no approach lights available and an upslope on the rwy on one engine.
N705DN got additional damage on the ground from being clipped by another aircraft. I read DL chartered an Atlas 744 to take a replacement engine down. Any of you DL guys know any of the crews and what they thought about it?

Anyone thinking of bidding Atlanta on this next bid had only a few weeks to get their crew car ready. Better get started on your hooptie b'donk. These machines aren't available at your local Chevy dealer. Got to build them yerselves for true Atlanta street cred.
