If it's the same guy that I flew with on the 320 out of DTW, he did the same routine with every new FA crew for 5 days. I kept thinking it was a miracle that he hadn't been called on it yet . . . . some guys can pull off stuff like this, but this wasn't one of them. Otherwise a pretty nice dude, but his awkward meter was clearly busted.

That's got to be the guy. I haven't flown with him, but the guys that I run into that have just had to deal with him say he's great once the cockpit door is closed but you don't want to be anywhere near him once that door opens up. I know my day is coming.

Sad sight, I hope they can be rescued and restored, again.
I don't think the same can be said about that museum site however.

I grew up about 30 miles from there. (At the time, that seemed like the other side of the world.) That same area also hosts one of the most wonderful National Parks in the country, and I heartily recommend both if you are ever anywhere near the area. Nashville is only an hour down the road too. But back to the point.. the National Park is.... Mammoth Cave. Whouda thunk there might be sinkholes in the area?

(Not saying it could have been prevented or that it is a dangerous area.. just that they are not that uncommon in that part of southern Kentucky... they'll fix 'em. Trust me, they know how in that part of the country)

Email the PBS Committee Chairman [email protected] to volunteer and help fix the problem, I'm sure he'd appreciate your expertise.

shiznit,
your reply was actually helpful, as I read recently they were needing PBS and rotation construction vols and was interested. Thx much!

Ok, if THIS is true, best news I've read all year. If I could hold up and down the W coast rotations, I'd bid to the 717 in DTW maybe... and hope for the 717 in SEA!

I think it would depend on what follow on pax are being intercepted, but it did not work out well for Reno going into MSP.

This is by far the worst trip selection and bid award I've ever had at Delta.

QOL is getting worse.

For anyone who put or has put part of the profit sharing into their 401K, how long does it take Fidelity to show that amount added to your 401K? Thanks,

Denny

Or Frontier doing LAX-MSP, which NW responded to by smothering that route with DC10s and sucking up all F9s pax with ridiculously low fares (I recall $49, this was in 2002-03 or so). They did the same to airtran when they tried some direct flying out of MSP. But Reno, airtran & Frontier went up against Northwest. NWA was always the most aggressive in defending their hubs, to the point of being accused of anti-competitive behavior, and was especially protective of MSP. They tolerated Sun Country as a way of keeping all the other LCCs out. Delta's always been a lot more laissez-faire about competition even in their core hubs, and MSP certainly isn't one of those anymore.
