I thought I saw you're doing some beta testing which hopefully means they listen to your inputs. Perhaps you could pass this along, it is frustrating when DAL tells us "make sure you read XYZ" but then don't hotlink it. All the info we need is there on Deltanet but it is extremely burdensome finding it in a timely manner.

You get N/A in the place of the altitude when showing cloud tops. Turn on turbulence instead of cloud tops and you'll see N/A go away.

I'll try to pass that on. I think you can also submit an FCR with your input.
Hockeypilot44 is absolutely right. To add onto his post a little more, it shows N/A because the clouds are height and as such there's no profile view like the turbulence display.
This goes for anyone else reading this post, if you have future ideas or complaints about any of the apps, feel free to PM me with the feedback and I can relay them to the people running the beta testing.

Vacation in a reserve month is ussually a good deal. Everything is pro-rated and you make more $$$.
Once you get your schedule it will show the pro-rated number of Short calls that you may be assigned.Use the reserve calculator to figure out exact number of X days, golden days, hours of pay etc. The reserve calculator is available in PBS - I think on the PBS info page or you just google John F Bell - the very smart guy that created the calculator has his own website that has all kinds of goodies for DAL guys including:
A flight plan translator -- with sortable NOTAMs
seniority calculator
Reserve calculator
It's like Christmas for geeks.

Hey guyz,
Anyone had laundry done in HNL? Got a 12 day Asia that doesn't transit NRT.
How quick/expensive is the hotel? Or, I'm assuming there is someplace around the mall

It's just easier for me to drop it off with the hotel and let them do it...especially if you have a long layover. Those golf holes don't play themselves.
I'm hoping for a private place I can drop off, head to Japan and back (3 crossings) then pick up.......sort of setting up the relay in NRT only different
The hotel should know if there is a good place close, its a big mall after all

I never post, but have seen this issue a lot. "Travel Companions ". Non DAL people on S2 passes with stupid seniority dates getting on flights. Latest was me trying to get my family of 4 to PUJ. Guy doing the obvious non rev shuffle beside us. I ask him his plans. Short story, he and his wife are on S2 "companion passes" with a 96 date. Mind you, not a DAL person with them. Real happy he made it, while my 6 year old was asking me why we didn't...
