NONE of the 3 trips were remotely possible for me to make, and in fact this last call would be violating crew-rest I'm pretty sure...

I need to take my home phone off that CS list, it's nothing but a PITA.
Would of been OK flying trip but just no way to make it, commute.

So, only 5 Mar, not a heavy weekend or anything...

I guess you missed the small incident in LGA and the little snow storm that blew up into the worst of the season for many Eastern airports. Virtually all of Delta's system had to be rerouted.

Word for today: "Pretendicitis"

Sick, at least in DBMS.

Thanks guys, glad to hear it. Last time I commuted home on a 320 the gate agent assigned me the emergency exit row window seat. I thought she totally hooked me up until I got to the seat. If I was a paying passenger I'd have been angry for paying extra. The seat pad was only half the thickness of the rest of the seats on the plane and there was no arm rest on the bulkhead side of the seat. Most uncomfortable coach seat I've ever had to sit in.

They are also running the usual crew flights to try and recover the operation today. I think there was one at 11 from Atl to JFK.

I saw that. I'm flying out of SAT on the only direct flight to NYC so the extra 50 seats won't be a factor. I have to leave home a little earlier but it is a lot easier to book and takes some of the stress out of connecting through ATL.

On a separate note, I just downloaded what I thought was the official Delta app for my tablet but what I grabbed was definitely not what I was looking for. Does a Delta app exist for RT? How ironic would that be if one didn't exist?

Looks like LAX 717A isn't gonna be a junior category, at least on initial bid. Yikes, and thats not including the Monday AM last minute dudes. Thinking it will barely break 7000, if at all.

She gave you the exit seat because she thought you had a better than even chance of opening the exit without chipping a nail. I get 'em all the time, even though I have my two service dogs with me.

It saddens me to see that post from an ALPA guy.
If the union agrees with management that most guys who call in sick are just pretending, we are in trouble.

Don't miss an American masterpiece. "The Jerk" just started on Comedy Central at 10cst.

The last robo call violated his rest but its okay because we almost put one in the drink and the weather sucks. Is that what you're saying?

Granted this blurb comes from some Aviation website I've never heard of, but it would be good news if true:

Finland's Blue to offload B717 fleet to Volotea, Delta - ch-aviation.com


The Swedish aviation news site claims the Finnish operator's remaining five B717s will end up with Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson), now the world's largest operator of the type with eighty-eight mostly ex-AirTran Airways (FL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) jets acquired from Southwest Airlines (WN, Dallas Love Field). Other operators that had expressed a keen interest in the Finnish B717s include Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingford Smith) and Hawaiian Airlines (HA, Honolulu).


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:32 PM.
