Does anybody know if we can check a bag outside of security, as a jumpseater? I'm a Delta pilot, am listed on a flight tomorrow, but want to check a bag in order to bring liquids. Travelling in uniform is not an option in this case...

Yes, list for the jumpseat then go to the counter and checkin and tell them you have a bag to check. Voila'. I'm assuming that you are leaving an airport that doesn't have KCM, because you can also go through KCM in civilian clothes, but if you have oversized liquids and are chosen for in depth search, you will have to check your bag anyway.

Thanks. I'm going on a cruise, so I don't want to wear the costume. I have plenty of liquids I want to take though, so I will go to the counter outside of security to check it.

If you wore your bird suit you could hang out on the bridge and steer.

No, a yellow slip gives you nothing extra, no extra pay, no extra day off. All it says is that I want that trip or that you'd fly on a day off (at no extra pay).

The cruise lines typically don't let you take those kinds of liquids on board. I hear refilling mouthwash bottles might work well....hypothetically.....

The -200 has a bunk below the aft galley. The -300 has some with a flatbed seat and some with a bunk by the 3L door. All -300 are supposed to get the bunk. The bunk is nice, but the trip to/from can be a hassle during service or cleanup. There is no dedicated sitting area or TV to watch and the @Rest WiFi reception is spotty down in the bunk.

Disney of all lines does. Must be carry on only. Check your clothes, bathroom stuff etc. I hear that you can fit a case of Shiner and a bottle of Scotch in a Purdy Neat bag
