Right you are BB: "I always fly Delta, but most of my associates were deep into the AirTran easy upgrades. If your travel is mostly regional it is difficult to become frequent flier royalty."

OK, so here's the issue; how is any Business Man in ATL going to get a free upgrade on South West?

And we know their prices are the same (or more) than Delta's coach, so why would any Business Man show any loyalty to SWA, with no Business Class to upgrade to?

I think SWA bought Air Tran just to shut it down and eliminate a low fare competitor, and get their International routes, and their computer res. system. We know they didn't want their 717's...so...why buy them, if not to eliminate them?

You tell us, are the Groundstops over?

  • Due to OTHER / STAFFING, departure traffic destined to Newark International Airport, Newark, NJ (EWR) is currently experiencing delays averaging 1 hour and 44 minutes.
  • Due to OTHER / STAFFING, departure traffic destined to La Guardia Airport, New York, NY (LGA) is currently experiencing delays averaging 1 hour and 47 minutes.
Only the Senate has passed anything. Maybe a refresher is in order... ;)

The 30 Most Hilarious Autocorrect Struggles Ever

Been a while since we laughed this hard

Bar my man, you've outdone yourself! I'm opened those and started reading at the hotel bar and by the 4-5 one had beer coming out my nose and crying. Needless to say I looked like a moron crying and laughing and snorting at the bar as I sat alone.....
Don't know if it was the day I had or the humor itself, but
Thanks

Found this book in the library in the JFK lounge.

Damn You, Autocorrect!: Awesomely Embarrassing Text Messages You Didn't Mean to Send: Jillian Madison: 9781401310677: Amazon.com: Books

Laughed all the way across the country. Boss took it for the return leg. Was supposed to put it back when he was finished. Good hunting!

Sad this is what our profession has come to, FO's sitting at the bar alone. I feel you man!

Wow! From another thread. BB, what are you trying to imply here?

Did Delta test the Pan Am Express pilots? How about Northwest pilots?

Did Tigers vet those small jet flying Fed Ex pilots?

Unity before bigotry. Those Pinnacle pilots are already flying Delta pax.

I think the stats were less than about 4 percent of applicants made it through the process from application (over 12, 500 to the number off probation in the last ten years) if you back out internal hires and transfers. That meant precisely nothing in the mergers Delta has done...
