Indeed, getting the info we need as commuters is difficult, and it's hard to find a source that gives fast uncluttered complete sched info, without all the "best price" spam.
Commuters, and there are 53% of us at Delta according to the ALPA contract poll I believe, understand how critical the info is-- there are some wierd days of the month around holidays, and Tuesdays, where your ability to report for a trip or get home from one may change by 8 hours! I have to check every single day of the month for my commute, both going and returning, so that I can put in PBS avoids for particular days that have issues. There are always 3-4 of them a month.

LL, PM received, will reply--thanks!

Just tested the sites mentioned:
Kayak.com does display all the flights. Unfortunately, every time you put in a new date, it wipes your "filters" and gives you all 1 and 2 stop flights (I want to be able to just show directs), and it resorts it cheapest first--and I want to show it by take off time, early to late in order. You can do this, but you have to click 5 spots to show the info how you want it, and it puts it on multiple pages... Also, the sort is done internally on the page, not via the URL form return, so you can't embed the view you want into the URL either. WORKABLE but not the best.

Passrider.com-- does display all the flights when using the upper right search box, and displays them all tightly and succinctly, in chrono order, on one page, and it preserves form filter selections (non-stop etc.). So far, passrider.com is the best place I've seen for the info display. They need a "next day... previous day" buttons on their response form, so you can just work through the month (quicktrip.com has that), but their display is very good.

Thanks all for the tips, and I want to be sure you understand I appreciate them all--just put these "reviews" on the sites up as a public-service in case other commuters are reading and don't want to have to look at all the options.

I have free version of flightview app on my phone. It shows nonstop flights between city pairs of all airlines.

Just read this on facebook from the DPA page,

"ALPA has temporarily hijacked and cloned the DPA website. Watch your emails for further communication from DPA. DO NOT visit the site until further notice! Help ALPA realize how bad this decision was. Join the GO TEAM!"

Well. They looked really good for 6 minutes.

The legit DPA website address is delta-pilots.org

Hits to that address are now being directed to deltapilotsassociation.org

Forget it. Not worth it.

I wonder how they know "ALPA" did it. Maybe a disgruntled DPA member did it. Maybe TC did it on purpose to have something to talk about. Who knows for sure?

Further, if DPA can't secure and maintain a simple website, how will they be able to secure contract improvements, job security, etc for the pilot group???:confused: <-----Amateur hour

Sorry couldn't resist :p

So to follow your logic, DPA did it to itself so that you could say DPA can't secure and maintain a simple website. Are you leaving the USA because healthcare.gov is a trainwreck (which is giving it credit because for a trainwreck to occur the train has to first start moving).

It was a joke. Guess I needed more smiley faces.

My point is I doubt TC has any idea what happened or who did it. No surprise it's ALPA's fault though. :cool:

And yes, I'm equally unimpressed with the healthcare website dabacle. This is not 1994. There's no excuse for not executing a launch successfully. Despite all our problems though, there's still nowhere else I'd rather live. Happy and proud to be here!
