Now why did you go and do that! I wanted to read the 10 different answers you were going to get.

The Song flight attendants did not lift the bags. What they did do was insure the bags were correctly placed in the bins, consolidate smaller items to make additional space and encourage people to step out of the aisles. Really made a difference in boarding. Also reduced the need to gate check bags.

Sailing,

You may remember that twice in my now 35 years with Delta it was observed the operation was deemed too unreliable for business to use our airline. With OT percentages in the 60's that call is being made again.

In both cases, major accounts sent out internal memos telling employees and contractors not to use Delta.

What exactly is an "assignment" given to someone on the iCrew daily trip coverage?

If it looks like "A#1," it is an Inverse Assignment.

I was unaware we are in the sixties. That type of ontime quickly leads to a system collapse with massive crew reroutes. Lasts stats I saw had us in the mid eighties. I have not seen May.
Edit: May ontime posted as 85%

Question for the 73/320 folks
 
If you have a trip with credit time does it pay at the 738/320 rate or 739/321 rate? Same thing with reserve guarantee, Bigger or smaller rate?

Thanks

I believe trip credit is smaller rate and reserve credit is bigger rate. I haven’t looked in contract in a while.

Is there an easy way to see the percentage of trips that originate out of SNA and ONT for the 717? Trying to get a feel for what they do and don’t want to count each one in the bid package if able.
Thanks

You can see this using our AE Tool for previous months.

Select LAX717 (A or B) and whichever month you want to check. Then once the bid package loads up you can filter by Checkin Station to see an exact count of trips that match the station you put in. If the station doesn’t appear in the filter, that indicates there aren’t any reports there for the given bid period.

The AE Tool is free for all Delta pilots:
