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

Non-revving she could check in as late as 60 minutes prior as long as she is listed 90 minutes prior.

I would definitely try to check in online though, although the CDG station may be one of the ones where you can't.

This spring, showed up at CDG 2:20 prior to takeoff via train with family in tow for the BOS flight and just BARELY made it to the gate before they closed the door.

The ATL flt early and late may not be bad, but all the others seem to leave in the same 2hr window making lines at the checkin, customs check, and security formidable.
YMMV, Luv:eek:

I was just trying to save the company money so they can give us a pay raise. You guys that use the APU are cutting into profits and leaving NO More Money on the Table. :D

CDG... the gate agents DO NOT board using your seniority. They board whomever they want, in whatever order they want, in whatever seat they want. I've seen it all there. The AF/KLM computer system doesn't talk to ours so you won't have any way to see where you are on 'the list'. They are famous for schmoozing their own colleagues or AF ticketed passengers into business or comfort plus while you get jammed into coach. I don't know what the work around for that is, but you could ask to see the departure report from the purser. Even that is produced by AF, so it's not exactly like ours... Well, bonne chance!

The most frustrating part is you can't see the airport cleared list like in the states so you really have no idea who made or didn't make a flt so you just have to go by highly innacurate preflight listings.

Screw passengers, they didn't pay for comfort. Well, maybe we care about comfort, 'like how's the ride?' 20x in flight and dammit you better get up and tell them goodbye in case they fill out a survey, but as far as AC, let em burn.

Not just 757. Had crews doing that out west on the 717 and this week on an 88 when I was deadheading.

I don't get it. Why? Why why why why, WHY?

Isn't it for the same reason air doesn't get hooked up? Everyone knows the cabin stays nice and comfy when it's cool outside, right? :D

I know there are no guarantees in this business but as it stands now:

1. What kind of medical benefits do you get in retirement?

2. How long do you have to work at Delta to receive flight benefits in retirement?

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:36 PM.
