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.

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;)

Thanks very much for the info. I appreciate it. Are those areas quite enough to get sleep? I won't need the Wi-Fi but I would be concerned about getting sleep.

I've been looking for the "When scheduling calls" handbook on the EFB and the DALPA site. Can't find it either place, anyone have a clue where it's at.

Thanks

Simply drinking mouthwash saves a lot of time.

Heyas FB,

That document has been retired. What you want is the "Scheduling Reference Handbook".

It's on the DALPA site. Log into ALPA.ORG, and select DAL MEC from the "My MEC/LEC" pulldown menu. Select "Committees" and click on "Scheduling Reference Handbook". That will take you to the link to download it.

The seat is OK, but you get lots of galley noise during service. The bunk on the -300 is better than the seat as long as the FAs are quiet when they enter/exit. The bunk on the -200 is the best since it has better separation from the FAs. A good noise cancelling headset does wonders for the background airplane noise.
