Welcome to the "new" Delta. Smells a lot like the "old" Northwest.

WHAT DA PHO?

Man, I could have sworn there was a lot of angst after the merger about how all the bubbas were controlling everything? Which is it?

Just read DAL is clipping PEk to NRT flights, I work these every month and the load factors on them seem good. Are we code sharing this out or just doing the Monty Python move? (run away run away)

This has been a way to get crews to Asia, will this cause more DH's to NRT or is something else happening?

thanx

Default JFK Transportation?

Hmmmmmmm,

The company has decided to have arriving crews (pilots and flight attendants) ride the Airtrain to Federal Circle and meet the Hotel {that shall go nameless, because this is a public forum and no one must know where airline crews layover because it is a very big security secret } shuttle van there. The intent is that it will be a quicker trip to the hotel, rather than waiting for a van to arrive from the hotel. Outbound crews will still be dropped off at the terminal by the hotel shuttle.




OK Let me get this straight - When crews are going to the airport it is quick and convenient to drop us at the airport, but when we are going to the Hotel - Tango Sierra!


Something seems fishy here.

What I mean is the schedule was slightly different than what I saw.
If I were in scheduling, I'd inverse the seniority list in each category and post via the backdoor on April's schedule, then after 24 hours of shock, I'd post the correct sched's via the front door the next day......

Whenever you use the backdoor, you are never truly protected from a shock

Yeah Scoop, we were chatting about this on here a few weeks ago. The logic escapes me. If the vans can drive us TO the airport without a problem, why the issue with them driving us FROM the airport?

BS! Happy for the hotel change, but BS!

Bump. Seemed that every rotation went in to PEK then NRT then beaches etc then NRT to SEA or the reverse of that.

What up? Multiple 7ers and occasional whale on it per day. Now gone??
