Somewhere around 9900 right now. (About late 2007 DOH Delta South or late 2001 NWA)

You sure about that? I thought it was right next to the section that specified how many Greenslips Pilots are required to be available for each month.

Not only would EC no longer be available 24 hours prior, changes to "premium" seats are no longer available.

Under the new marketing definitions, all window and aisle seats are "premium", also. Granted, it's not much of a premium, but there is an upcharge.

That means you cannot change to a window or aisle seat, either.

Flight operations does not assign the seats, ACS does so go to travelnet and put it in the search function like I said you will see THEIR directive. Dated yesterday. The sky is not falling.

Every contract violation needs to be rigorously fought, there are no little fish when the company violates the contract.
Your two examples would be a contractual violation, as they are defined in the contract specifically. Economy Comfort DHs are not spelled out in the contract. Perhaps this is a "status quo" violation, but message board venting doesn't set the standard. Legal experts do.

It may or may not be an intentional stick in the eye. Since I've been able to secure comfort seat on deadhead exactly 0.0 times I can't get too worked up.

However, on the topic of sticks in the eyes.....a spa? They are taking a chunk of the pilot lounge and turning it into....a ********* spa? I can imagine how pilots have been lining up for years begging the company to offer them a spa in the pilot lounge. Or maybe not so much.

Am I being overly sensitive or did that not come across as a bit of an F you?

10,621.

March of 2008. Or close enough to the right date.

So 8 years to 320A... and probably dropping further down the SL.

It's not a happy endings spa. And even if it was I don't think it'd help some people's b**** faces. That's an actual thing folks. Google it.

That said, maybe it's like Disney now? Notice how they're always so well trimmed up when you're at Disney world? They have a barber shop.

If this is the case and we become more Disney like, I want to wear this:

I must have missed this one. Where are they doing this?

I have deviated from deadhead on the front or back of trips about 3X a month for the last year, and I would estimate I get EC over 90% of the time. So I feel this is a major status quo violation.

Also, what is this spa in the pilot lounge you are referring too?
