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

Commuting question. I turned in my passports yesterday to renew my Russian Visa, and plan on commuting on United tomorrow.
I know I've read that any government ID (not just a passport) is now acceptable to list for the jumpseat, but can't seem to find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, in case the gate agent gives me a hard time. Thanks.

The ALPA app has Jumpseat information - for United, it says, "Passports are no longer required for CASS verification" but a agent is probably only going to believe what's in their system, but that line from the App shows that someone else believes it too.

Knowing Delta, this is the end of their relationship with Boeing. Boeing has filed a petition with the department of commerce, against the sale of the $19 million Delta is paying per C-Series jet.

Funny...they don't seem to mind the massive subsidies that allow the ME3 to buy Boeing widebodies. Hypocrites!

I don't see it as the end at all. It's just part of the gamesmanship. Boeing is ****ed Bombardier was able to land Delta as a customer. Also, Delta should want three major players from which to be able to leverage future huge orders. More players equals more bargaining power.

Yes, that's a little less than the price of a 76 RJ. However, Boeing wants a step up tariff on the C-Series, which would tax Delta perhaps up to a billion dollars for the order. If Boeing gets its way, it may be more economical for Delta to go back to the E190.

Or it could be the beginning of a very long and fruitful relationship. Who knows, maybe Delta went to Boeing and said, " We really would like 797s but we can't get out of our commitment with the Cseries. Is there a way you can help? By the way, we paid $19million per copy.:)"

You never know what really happens in industry.

For all that is holy, if in Kennedy and in need to get to LGA DO NOT attempt to get picked up at T2 or T4. Take the airtrain to T8 instead. I'm still shaking off the PTSD from last night.

Some details why would be nice. Does this have to do with the water main break?
