It's a lot cheaper to say you have the greatest employees and that safety is your #1 priority than to actually do something about it.

I'm surprised the company isn't open to legal action if someone gets hurt. It's the company provided "campus".

UAL puts crews, including new hires, into downtown hotels in a nice area (near our long stay location) and provides regular shuttle service to their "TK" campus.
The VA Ave area has potential and the location is convenient, but IMO its time to either provide the necessary 24/7 security for the area or move all crews somewhere else.

I thought it was suppose to be just taxes on the ticket...in the neighborhood of $30 each way. Can anyone shed any light on this who has done buddy Pass traveling recently for friends? Did I miss something?

Funny thing is this..we have family that live in Minneapolis and we’re in Seattle. Buddy pass cost is nominal to Priceline.com and Alaska is almost always slightly less then Delta by $40-50. Guess who they ride on?

Non-rev question: trying to travel with the family in March to EDI, Scotland. No nonstop service on Delta metal. Do we have privileges on KLM or AF to nonrev AMS or CDG to EDI? Can't seem to find it clearly spelled out on Deltanet anywhere.

Minor nit: duty period minimum (DPM) of 2:00 is the exception to the rule on credit paying the last day--it pays on the day of the applicable duty period. So, any such trip will pay a minimum of two hours over guarantee.
Your larger point is spot-on.
