Eggzactly! We are way past the days of 64% load factors. We seriously need to negotiate a couple of ps round trip, upgradeable, family tickets per year. Travel use to be one of the prime bennies of the job... definitely not so today. :(

I've loved my Samsung S4. Since it's old, you could probably get one free somewhere. iPhone screens just aren't the size/aspect I personally prefer and the 6+ would be embarrassing to carry around.

You guys are rookies. Booked cruise Friday for the next Monday of spring break for 4 of us. 60% off previous Monday prices, thank you very much.

Got first class on 2 of the 4 legs to the port city. Hint: Don't be afraid of NY domestic!

I brought this up awhile back for retired guys. Got totally slammed for even suggesting it since it took seats away from guys trying to commute. This comes from a guy who commuted my entire 30 year career.

No offence mad, but I'd prefer to just have the extra money to buy my own tickets. The positive space tickets issued by the company after the merger are so restrictive on when and how you use them. Only a few available seats on each flight and they book up months in advance. I'd also like the option to fly on other carriers where my full fare ticket is treated as any other full fare paying customer. Employee ps tickets during irops would fall so far down in the priority list.

Just my 2 cents. I'd prefer we focus on compensation and work rule improvements in c2015. No doubt ALPA and management will over inflate the cost associated with any other bonuses.

Maybe it's just me, but lately the JS has been my only guarantee commuting (not counting positive space where several times I've moved to the JS to get another pax on). It's extremely rare that I get to commute on a flight that has any significant number of seats in the back. Forget taking the family on vacation and staying together.

We need to up gauge everything to a380s.

Jeez, how many more A380's do you want here at Delta? Seems like every time I get on a Delta airplane, it's one of these A380's:

Continually locked up and needed a reboot, screen cracks if you drop it on a pillow, battery life was poor, battery finally went bad after about 9 months, then the final blow was a "corrupted operating system" according to Verizon which was unrepairable. So I traded for an M8 and have had no issues at all for a year. I also had a Galaxy Tab that was a complete POS.

Please do not take the jumpseat anymore when you are positive space. Last minute jumpseaters get screwed all the time. If you have a contractually guaranteed seat in the back, use it. The oversell is not your problem. You are hurting us more than you think. There are airlines out there that require pilots to deadhead in the jumpseat.

I espoused this last contract and I'll do it again. Get rid of buddy passes. Give me and my family one set of ps, guaranteed, upgradeable seats once a year so that I can take my family on vacation during my vacation. Buddy passes are near worthless and nonrevving is a complete crap shoot. IMHO.
