No, that used to be my favorite show. There was a short time that I thought I should go to Law School. I got accepted by Columbia and then decided that wasn't for me. For me, I made the right choice.

Great school! You must be one of those smart guys.

Hey! It's not too late to go. In fact, you might be able to finish by the time the December bid results come out.

I'd rather go to welding school or sheet metal fabrication school.

Kinda funny story on law school. Someday if I ever meet you, I'll tell it to you. Not my proudest moment.

[QUOTE=volav8r1;1519780]Just used mine last week. Just check in from home and you will be automatically added to the list.

FYI: My wife and I went from MSP to LAX then continued to Hawaii. The flight was a thru flight in LAX with an equipment swap from a 73N to a 757. We did not get upgraded in MSP (shocking right?) but the leg from LAX to OGG was wide open since Delta doesn't allow miles upgrades to Hawaii. When we inquired in LAX as to why we weren't on the upgrade list, we were told that you have to clear on the original flight or you can't be upgraded on the 2nd segment. I was floored! So, short version is: my wife and I sat crammed in the back of a 757 for 5.5 hrs while skywest employees and buddy pass riders stretched out in 1st class!

Also, you are not eligible for premium seats (exit rows, economy comfort, certain isle seats, etc..) unless you pay for it!

Good luck![/QUOT



OK.

Thanks

Default Age 60 Rules

I called DALPA to inquire about the delayed bid results. In the course of the conversation, the duty officer said that the Company was having a hard time dealing with the age 60 rule and it's effects.

I haven't gotten there, yet. Has anyone got information on the practical effects of not being able to pair two 60 year olds?

I bet this has to affect international and augmented crews.

It hasn't affected a crew I've been part of. We do have a few over 60 FOs on my equipment.
