It gets complicated but I think you have to have coverage for all the days, but since it covers another month that the schedules aren't out for, it would be granted... but April 1st is Easter.. so Note 2 of PWA 23.I.9. comes into play I think. So they won't grant it because Easter is a Listed Holiday where they can deny a drop.

I could've swore there was a table in the FOM that listed minimum catering items depending on the length of flight. After a frustrating and losing battle with my surface I was never able to find this table. Anybody know if it has been removed; or if it's still there, could point me to the correct page/section? Thanks!

As a pile-on, is there some sort of strike or sick-out in ATL? I had to get catered in ATL 2x yesterday and both times it was a hot mess.

Anyone know if it’s written anywhere that deadheads can board earlier than their assigned zone? I thought it was zone 1, but dtw agent just said that she was “told” we board with our zone.

Its supposed to be zone 1 on the boarding pass. Gates are cracking down on early boarding so if they messed up and put you in any zone later than 1, that was the mistake that should be corrected.

Search “Zone Boarding” on
Deltanet.

There is a chart that was modified on 2/2/2018 that shows who boards in each zone. In the zone 1 section it lists NRPS (company business employees).

Deltanet further defines company business as:

“employees traveling on company business which includes travel needed to:”
- Perform employee job functions

If you get an economy comfort seat it prints sky zone on your boarding pass.

Well you may start having issues. Deadheads may board with zone one. Only board with sky or FC if you are assigned a seat there.

Delta pilots or FAs jumpseating may board anytime the captain is on board.

You are benefitting from gate agents not enforcing policy. A lot of them are team players and don’t really want to deny a fellow employee. You are not following policy though.
