About 3 hours into the flight, I walked to the rear galley looking for a glass of water. All 3 FAs had the curtain drawn, feet kicked up and were playing Candy Crush.
I'm so happy to be working for Delta and partnering with a, largely, professional group of associates.
Carry on.

If you think their cabin service is bad, you should see their cockpit procedures! Pretty sure they remain unchanged since the 1960's.
This is more what I was going for:

You younguns can fall in love with those God-awful POSs if you want, but I'd rather have a bunch of 737s than a single one of those things. Butt ugly... it doesn't fly, it is repelled by all that is Holy on this planet.

We are parking our largest and highest paying equipment while the companies we codeshare with are taking delivery of more big uglies.

They are still ugly, and I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

SD is a lawyer, so you have to read between the lines in what he writes. All the TATL growth is certainly not ours. Given that 25% of our largest metal is going away via assistance from our TATL network, the logic points one direction with regard to our TATL growth. Shrinking? Doubtful. Anemic? With certainty.

There are at least two nefarious things going on with this bid change. I'm just not sure what they are yet.

Now, if they want to pay protect me for what I can hold and then lock me, fine.
