Oh, got ya. But I'm a pretty junior FO and I drive to work here. Just moved into base a year after getting awarded it, very recently actually, (waited for the kids to finish the school year). It's really not that bad. You should try it. Driving to work really does not suck.

I FCR'd an operational issue re. gate planning in MSP last month. Was very specific...flight numbers, gates, names of gate agents (who were awesome!), gate planners (who were not), and times. Only thing I lacked was a pedometer.
Not only did I not hear anything back from it, even though I requested a detailed response, but the next time I passed through MSP I changed planes from D4 to G20...on a 45 minute turn.
Think I'll waste my time on another FCR?

If you get a hotel room that is truly unacceptable for whatever reason(noise, dirty, no A/C,etc) try to switch rooms. If you can't switch rooms then call Delta to move to another hotel for the night. They will get you another hotel and problem solved. I don't think FCR's help much unless numerous people complain about the same hotel.

Perhaps you just highlighted the problem with the FCR system. One department kicks the can to the next department and then to the next. Problem remains and another crew member loses faith in the FCR system. Sadly, it seems you have to just let the wheels come off the cart. At least that might get their attention.

More important than a response would be results. Gate changes have been mentioned as a high visibility item in multiple flight ops coms over the last couple years. One would think that a royal F up (both times several gates in close proximity to our departing gate were wide open when we arrived) would garner some attention and get fixed.
Apparently one would think wrong. I have made my peace and counted to three re FCRs.

Are you guys talking about a PD or an APD? I may be mixing line vs res, but I thought you could still GS over a PD, just not an APD.
