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

I'll PM you in a day or two when I roll through there. They do have "do it yourself laundry" in the hotel, but I'm not sure I'd leave either the washer or dryer alone with your clothes in it there. Things can disappear. Double-check the PWA on the amount you get for laundry reimbursement...it's based on time away from base. I'll let you know what I get charged when I get it back. 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.

Perfect thanks, yes homie ain't sitting by a washing machine so hotel drop-off or private laundry. I have a long 50 something hour layover but it's over the 4th so I'm not sure how that will effect the time required.

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...

I was told there is a priority for first vs rear of aircraft, but the gate agents pretty much do what they want otherwise. IMO, they do what they want with their friends period. Keep reporting exact details to CPO. Write someone. I've written everyone for years asking for some kind of priority vs the vague guidelines we have. One of my personal experiences we checked in as S2 and were number 2/3. The person #1 changed S2 to S3 and we were now number 1&2 on the list: put on opposite sides of the jet, center seats, rear of a 757. The new number 3 got EC. Wife of a jumpseater "schmoozing" the gate agent got EC. Agent proceeded to board the jet in almost exact reverse seniority order with Buddies and S4 sitting next to each other close to front, aisle, window. Reported to CPO and pass people: I bet them the person changed to S3 and put in EC was a fellow gate agent. No takers on the bet. Nada, zip happened. Call station manager and keep complaining. Maybe eventually they will simply board us with some respect for seniority. OFG

Looking at the A-320 sim training schedule. There a several people that show as LAX F/Os. Last I checked, there are no A-320's in LAX. Any idea what this is about?

Update: One of the guys is currently a 717 F/O at LAX. Not on this most current AE...

Travel Companions. But in this case it was a married couple, of which, neither work at Delta, traveling on S2.

I didn't solicit any of this info, guy was looking for help cause he and his wife couldn't get on travelnet.
