Excellent word choice.

You said wiener. Cue beavis and butthead laugh.

Reminds me of some Delta kids in PTC

If you have a painful deadhead on say day 4 of your trip, can you change it as soon as you check in on day 1? Or is it 24 hours prior?

I think you can't change it until you check in. But maybe I'm wrong.

iPhones are freaking powerful. They can cause the nose gear to enter the E&E compartment.

I'm all checked in and a seat has been assigned but its not for another 2 days. Deltanet keeps crashing and Delta.com says
We are unable to find a check-in eligible reservation with the information provided.

I thought as soon as you check in to your rotation you can change a deadhead to something less painful then a center seat assigned 4 days out.

Is it not supposed to curve like that?

I wasn't able to switch to an exit row until one day prior to the DH last time.

On a different subject, I expect to hear a profit of about $805M tomorrow morning for CY13Q2 - or 95 cents earnings per share consensus. Record 2nd quarter.

There are numerous examples of outstanding pilots who never got a college degree. Chuck Yeager, Wiley Post, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart. Dick Rutan got his college degree 16 years into his USAF Career - well after his many military flying accomplishments.

You are correct. It has never been asserted nor implied that a college degree helped flying skills, but ostensibly made for a better captain.

Check with your Captain. Sometimes these rotations have the same confirmation number. If the other crewmember uses it, then you can't.

I've not found a way to unscrew this when it happens. Gate Agents can move you, but some think that they are not supposed to.
