Since we are delayed on tablet rollout maybe we should dump WindowRT tabs and buy a better product at a discounted (last years model) price. Isn't that what we like to do with airplanes?

Surface Pro 2 prices drop in the US by as much as $200

New non rev priority on Skywest and Expressjet
effective Oct. 1.

All active Delta employees who travel standby on SkyWest- or ExpressJet-operated flights will be listed under a higher priority code - S3B1 instead of S3C.

This enhancement will allow active Delta employees and their pass riders to board after SkyWest or ExpressJet employees and before all other Delta subsidiary employees on SkyWest- or ExpressJet-operated flights.

Yes, and the bonus is that it's with everyone's favorite "TOTD"!

Could be wrong, but I think they've already purchased the Surface Tablets. I think the delay is due to programming issues. I've heard many complain that the Pro version is faster and much easier to design programs for. At least that what I've heard from guys who seem to know more about it.

Can anyone explain when a reserve guy is able to begin submitting requests to move days? I was thinking it was this morning, but no luck.

Here I am thinking my schedule sucked. Then you came along. My schedule has gold plated toilet seats compared to yours.

Well, at least alcohol is your friend.

Somehow, I should be able to turn this into an anti-ALPA post.

DALPA sucks because I can't get a schedule with a 1 day trip worth 85 hours.

There are at least 2 places where that is explained...the bid package and on the crew resources/scheduling page on dal net. I think it is concurrent with PCS.

Close. They're leased and have been sitting in a warehouse for months. The good news is every month we're getting a month closer to the end of the lease! Yes,, the Pro version is much, much better.
