Are they seeing it already? I assumed most wouldn't register much until Valentine's Day.

The hiring freeze you mention was to show a first quarter profit. They needed so many consecutive quarters in order to get to investment grade and lower interest rates. The planned pilot hiring at that point was only 120 to 150 pilots that spring for the summer schedule. I have no idea how important a profit was overall but the planned hiring was small that year.

Are we suppose to call CS or PSP during Mecca business hours to find out that there are no C+ seats to upgrade to on a transcon deadhead?

Must not have been flying the few days after the checks came out. To say there were some angry FAs, would be an understatement. You would have thought that we were the ones that took part of their PS.

I heard several make the accusation that it was the pilots fault that they didn't get the same payout percentage. I just extended my walk around when they started that talk.

It says on Delta net that tomorrow is the last day for the crew line at customs in ATL. We will now have to go through the line with all the PAX or Global Entry. Also states that its $100 for Global Entry and that we will not be reembursed if we pay for it. Seems like a small price for Delta to pay to make sure their flight leave on time. I routinely get an ATL turn of an hour after arriving from CUN or GCM.

Or.....drop $550 on the American Express Platinum Travel Card and you will get "free" Global Entry plus admission to the Sky Club....😁
