Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

There are three JFK-FCO flight on Mar 14 that come up on Travelnet. There is the DELTA flight 444 which is flown our Delta 767ER and has 12 seats avail in coach, none in Bus. Then there are two Alitalia flights which are 1040 and 1041. Those have 9 seats avail on both in coach and 1041 says there are 3 in Bus, though the seat count will not show how many seats are actually available, only that 9 eZed from Delta can be sold (I think).

Sorry, the 9 means this: * = Flight operated by Codeshare Partner. A value of 9 in seat availability for a codeshare partner flight indicates there are at least 9 available seats in the respective class.

If you want to get the eZed you have to go to the myIDTravel website. It has Happy, Sad, and yellow OK faces for available seats.

GG, in my experience, if the the flight is on a non-white background on travelnet, it's not a DL flight. If the background on that row is grey or pink or blue and still says DL, it is a codeshare flight but not non-rev friendly.

I'm working from memory, but I remember having the same frustrations.

They will be flyable, you need more airframes to open a 4th base.

Rumor has it!

If you can't beat um...........try to "semi" control them.

Remember, just the hot rumor. Wait and see!

I think you are correct. The agent kept trying to pull my record over from non rev list with no luck. She called the supervisor several times and no one could help figure it out. The lead FA put up a pretty good fight for me and strongly stated that we have a seat and he has an ID and can sit in the seat. But at D+1 the gate agent threw out the late word and how it would be blamed on the crew. But hey I got to celebrate cheerleading championships with several hundred screaming 8-12 year olds at the hilton.

Man it was crappy at the airport. 34F and pouring, windy, shears, wdr computer ots, just crappy.

I think the winds were variable from 310 gusting to 24 to 090 gusting to 24. Which is just great for runways the face east/west.

Yeah. WDR computer was probably like screw this and bailed.
