Is Delta keeping the AT registration on the 717? I shook hands Jimmy Carter once... Wait, I was strapped in, in the last row of coach, pretending I was invisible.

Off Topic:

Anyone have experience with the Dish Network or DirecTV discounts on DeltaNet?

We're currently using the local Cable TV/Internet provide, and coincidentally "FED UP" with the service at the same time. :mad:

Just curious as to other people's experience with the satellite providers, and if you've used the Delta discounts on DeltaNet.

Thanks,

GJ

Type FMLA into the seach bar on deltanet and the forms are the first two that pop up. Wife just had our 2nd boy.

Congratulations..... it's still man to man until the third comes along.... then only zone defense!

Congrats cni187!

Yeah, that was a bad one. I was trying to point out, on an iPad, that other base commuters get an extra day for travel, and a positive space from their home to Atlanta, but the autocorrect thing bit me several times and there were several point and holds. This got missed/partially erased and never corrected.

I do notice that nobody really addresses how valid the points are, only the mistake--which was really a typo.

No matter, obviously you think that you know me. I suppose that most folks on here do, including the dude asking if I ever wonder why I lost the election. The other point is that maybe there are other things going on in my life affecting my "judgement"

No, I never wonder why I lost the election. It was very interesting- those results. If anybody is really interested, shoot me an email some time and I'll give you as much info as you want. As for the topic at hand, it really has nothing to do with it, a red herring if you will. The accuser used it, and I won't stoop to that level. What some don't seem to realize is that as a rep, your opinions submit to that of a majority. As an anonymous gangsta in cyber world, I get to defend my opinions.

As to current events in my life, they are precisely why I am here on this board at this point in time. I have run the course of things I can do with the current limitations on me. Needless to say, stuck on an icepack for most of the day leaves a lot of free time, which most of the time is non-existent in my life. Although I appreciate the concern--I surely do.

Now back to the topic at hand. Barbs do nothing to promote your cause guys. You are appealing to emotions that I do not have. Delta is the single premier airline with respect to pilots that commute, and I support that to the fullest extent. I support it because I have compassion for pilots who are not in the same shoes as I am, and have the experience to have walked in most of theirs to a certain extent. 5 airlines and a brief stint in the military will do that for you.

That being said, my comments are spot on with sound logic--except for the incorrect one now corrected. When the remarks are largely ignored except for the hammering taken on the one slight misstep, you lose debate, and only exacerbate it by throwing out the barbs and the non-starters. I know it, and you should know it. If you don't know it, you are probably a big fan of DPA; in which case keep up the good work.

I'll let gangstas anonymous get back to their griping now. I have seen the dissenter get pelted around here, and I think it's gutless. Barbs are tossed, and when thrown back the feeding frenzy starts. Not a good way to promote DPA, although they do just fine screwing themselves up.

I want it to be known very clearly that i am a supporter of our commuters and the contractual protections we have put in place addressing the large commuting presence here at Delta. We've done enough, IMO, and it's time to put these issues to bed. You instruct your reps and I will instruct mine.

CIAO, and good luck in your quest.

I led the Secret Service on a wild goose chase around the Atlanta Airport while getting three gate changes on different concourses. The Secret Service was not on our VHF, or any ramp freq. Had no idea I was trailing a bunch of Suburbans and Cop Cars with lights going until ramp asked why we had the entourage chasing us around.

GJ,
I just signed up with Direct TV through COSTCO after extensive research, I couldn't beat that deal. I will send you a PM.

Did the same analysis about 3 years ago. DirecTV won. I've been very happy with it. I found they blew Dish away for the channels I wanted.

At that time, the friend referral deal on top of their current promotion was better than the Delta deal. Get one of your friends' account numbers, and you and he will get 10 bucks off for the next 10 months. Then after your discounts start falling off, just call and ask what their current promotions are, or start agitating about going back to cable. They will work with you.

I think they're offering Season Ticket for free right now.

Thanks cnj,

Congratulations, and thanks for the info.
