DL Management implemented the new policy for CR7/9 aircraft to alleviate delays from pax waiting in the Jetway for pink tags. If your bag can fit in the overhead you can bring it on board now. Smart move imo

The smoking hole that is DCI just got a few inches deeper. |

I see how this can be a good idea but it has been very poorly executed by the company. We've been conditioning the traveling public since the nineties that the overheads are too small and they need to gate check and now all of the sudden the overheads maniacally grew and everyone is expected to bring their bags on.

That has got to be the most brilliant new policy I've seen. Don't forget to keep a smile on your face...Maintain an even strain.

Actually they do. I've done it a million times. Get down there early. Put your bag wheels first in the middle of the bin. You may have to pull down on the middle just a bit to wedge it in there. Once your past the lip just push it in the rest of the way while turning the bag 90 degrees. Your top handle is now in the middle of the bin for an easy grab on the way out. Flight attendants and gate agents don't believe that they fit. The hardest part is walking on the plane with your bag and getting past the bag nazis. |
88 planes for approx 88 planes, one for one/ month by month = replacement
88 planes for 88 planes parked during last 2-3 years = growth Got it. |
