Lots of great info.. thanks! Anyone know if Alitalia people will stack upgrades based on when you checked in? (Our metal, their people like Air France) or if they put S2s at the top? Thanks. FCO is amazing by the way. Pompei and Herculaneum will blow your freakin mind.

You say reasonable, but as I point try to point out, maybe yes , maybe no.

Bar(who ever he is) quoted a factual council communique that was less than underwhelming as far as support of TA1. I have no straw man argument and am not offended(I voted NO). Guys do think the grass is greener somewhere else as evidenced by the recalls(until the recalls split in ATL post TA1 (Capt and FO), and until they voted out Malone post TA2). The new regime is no diff than the old....they are not protecting us from shinola.....we don't need protecting....WE ARE smart and get to vote......OH wait....except for the the VB scenario....that was where we needed protection because we don't get to vote up/down....and in the end the "hard liners" totally caved(that is tongue in cheek, I actually believe they let the scenario play out no diff than previous admin) what I am trying to get across is...."same ole, same ole"


Like I said, Bar quotes a fact that was an underwhelming endorsement by a council, MSP,( a quote that is indisputable) and you want to paint it as a total , unequivocal sales job. You and others state opinions that may be totally right , may be partially right , or may be totally propaganda. (as a point of ref, I am not at an ALPA votunteer, LEC/MEC member and have only attended 3 ALPA meetings in my 32 year DALPA career)


In other words , the new is NO different than the old. Same ole same ole.

Now , no shiznit ,......Carry on....back to flying the line for me after too many days off and being bored and sucked into all this ridiculousness.

If you can give me a rational explanation of the Malone ouster and the split in ATL post TA2 I might think all this postmortem useful....otherwise, it is what it is....just more pilot b@tching and thumping of chests.

Please, I implore someone with rational logic, to answer those two connundrums

FCO is like other Delta stations. You should be able to see the standby list, they upgrade like normal. My Dad just came out of FCO last week and it went normally. The only reason AMS and CDG are different is that they use KLM / Air France computer system to clear people instead of DeltaMatic. as I understand it, the systems sync, but not in realtime.

So my mom is S3 and I’m S2 and get delta one. Is it bad if she just takes my seat? She is 75

$175 seems to ring a bell.

Tell the flight attendant what you are doing, and you're fine. The problem comes if you illegally list her as an S2, if you are married, and not allowed to use the parental step up.

He may or may not be fine depending on the flight attendant. Common sense says she would say no problem but the seat swapping is prohibited by Delta. She might decide to say no or write it up. Some chocolates might help!
