Is there anything like vacation trade or swap on DL Net? I have a vac move up bid in just wondering if there is another avenue.

Okay, I just saw this for the first time. I may have missed it if it was on before.




I always wondered what would replace the 747 in the commercials, A330 won.

If you beat feet you can usually get a chair in the rotunda by 8:30. Thank goodness for one of my kids abandoned Roy Rogers sleeping bags.. The egg joint on the south side is open all night, curl up in a booth.

Just proves how much RA hates the 777.

It's definitely more of a challenge, like hunting rhinos with a spear, but when you bag a transatlantic seat in first class... :cool: :D

At ASA/XJT it cost us $150 for my wife and myself for the year for S3C Priority. Unlimited Domestic travel and 3 "Oceanic" roundtrips per pass year after which it's taxes plus $150 each leg per person. Not a bad deal at all for us if you can get on. We also have United benefits and they pale in comparison to DL. UA is now $200 per passrider and you have to pay an upgrade fee to sit in first among other negatives. DL has, what I would consider of all legacies, the best non-rev benefits by a mile.

I think its long over due we get preference on flights. Active pilots should get unlimited S2 and 6 S1 per year. Pilots only. Pilot retirees should get unlimited S2B and 6 S2.

Tax time, for domestic pilots that use Flightline's easybid or Prodiem -- did you find it was pretty much a wash between cost of the service and money you saved on your taxes? My laziness only slightly overcomes my dislike of sending the government money. If I'm going to spend $50 to save $55 then I'll probably just donate that extra $5 to my Uncle Sam.

Spend the $50 fps. It will save you plenty, provide a logbook, and keep you sleeping at night if you are audited.
