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.

 

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.

 

Who do you talk to when this happens?

 

You have to be within 24 hours to move to an econ comf seat. Unless you're deviating, then you fall under "company business" instead of "crew travel". Another way crew deadheads get the short stick.

 

I only think I know what his problem is. The fact that Delta's apps keep "crashing" on him (but have been working for everyone else) suggest an iOS / Android / browser compatibility issue might also be involved. Best to use the crew lounge computer or vanilla Windows Explorer at the Hotel. (as an OS agnostic it has been observed Android will not work, chrome is a little iffy, Firefox under Linux does fine as does Windows + Explorer)

If it is the single confirmation number for an entire crew's listing nobody seems to know how to fix that.

I assume someone with authority to create positive space listings could cancel the single listing for 2 and rebuild 2 individual listings they could, but then both you risk the loss of the other pilot's seat. Crew scheduling, crew tracking, gate agents all seem unable to fix in advance.

At the gate I've routinely had gate agents help at the last second. Seems a family frequently wants a row and they end up taking my middle seat for Jr.
