Did you even try calling anyone? Or just logged on and started complaining?

Well, we've taken ATL-YUL back.

So, let's pretend you are right in your ASSumption.

What is wrong with a bro venting? It's his daughters graduation!

Let him vent if that is the case.

What is the BFD? What, are you so personally irritated if someone, God forbids, vents here? This is APC you do know.

Definitely call your fleet captain. I've had great experiences when I've needed them.

Roundstop, I put my request in I crew 45 days ago, I called the OE planner 20 days ago
(No call back I might add), I stopped by his cube...and was summarily dismissed. After loggin on, I called this guy again, giving him an oppertunity to correct it before I go over his head tomm AM. Yes I am frustrated
Rant over.

Your advice started out good, then ended poorly.

Speak again to the OE planner, fleet Captain, CPO, consider APD. Someone will help.

Not sure I'd want to do your OE unless you were 100% there anyway.

Talk to the fleet Captain. He will take care of it. The OE scheduler has to put a body in every training slot. I assume you contacted him and he will not change it. The fleet CA will handle it.

KAL and Delta have been in a spat for some time. KAL wanted to take over all the Pacific flying for sky team. That's not happening and they are having a hissy fit. It would not surprise me to see them leave Skyteam soon.

Yeah, that dot was in my picture too, but I didn't mention it.... So we get rid of them and Alitalia, and more flying for us :)

I would LOVE to see that. Their arrogance is not only radically unacceptable but probably the single biggest example of irony in aviation history. They only exist in the modern era because of DAL. They were one of the most unsafe airlines in the world until DL single handedly rebuilt them. Let them beg AA or UAL for scraps if they are going to act that way. There is nothing they do that we can't do either ourselves or in conjunction with with another far superior partner.
