The only people surprised about this are the LCAs brainwashed to say "May!" and believe it.

Looking for any useful information on which is better, faster, more convenient to obtain and use at the airport. Thanks in advance.

Global entry is for clearing customs. $100/5 years, definitely worth it.

There is also a link on deltanet when you list for nonrev that asks for a number...I don't have this, but it is a further level of trusted traveler.

Technique only, commute in (the majority of your)uniform only. I ditch the tie and hat, put on a light jacket...year round commuter uniform.

So DL doesn't see the work, the desire or the drive it takes to "operate at this level". :rolleyes:

Wow. That whole thing was pathetically desperate. I could look past all of it and brush it off as just a commercial/branding effort. But they are so insecure they actually showed DL as they were dissing their inability to do what only they can apparently do.

Wait I just watched it again...did anyone else see how they do maintenance on their planes as well as have HUDs on their/they're/there 737's?

We're screwed.

After the first time your Global number will show up when you list. The gate card will also show it. It will ding three times for the TSA. The TSA will then treat you like a long lost brother..even though you are up to your tuccus in chemtrail monkey business.

Badflaps/Scambo, thanks for the info.

When you mention the "deltanet number" are you referring to the "Known Traveler ID number (optional)" on the last page prior to creating the flight listing?

If so, this information is for anyone who still holds an active/retired military ID. The 10-digit DoD ID number located on the back of the Common Access Card (CAC) is used as your Known Traveler Number (KTN), which is used when making flight reservations. All you have to do for TSA Pre-check lines in the U.S. is to "opt-in" via the site below. (Just found this out today when researching the four options.) :)

I also noticed on the interior, where is the IFE on those new 737s?

Do you think when we start flying to Juneau that we could meet the stars of Deadliest Catch? Starting with the Northwestern. Captain's daughter is about to join the crew on the new season.
