They can however tell the difference between a 99 dollar fare and a 98 dollar fare.

And if or not they get cancelled.

Is anyone else not getting a text message along with an ARCOS app notification? It's easy to miss a single "ding."

The ARCOS guide has some nebulous but incomplete information on the last page -- filled with poor grammar and authored by someone who doesn't quite have a full command of the English language.

I'll operate whatever Delta wants to pay me industry-leading compensation to fly. I suspect customers prefer riding in an Airbus, but they definitely prefer being early over delaying or canceling for maintenance.

Just my opinion but delta mechanics are what makes all of our fleets reliable. No matter what the manufacturer

That could very well be - I don't know squat about maintenance. But in conversation some months ago with an OCC fellow in the maintenance world, I was told there is a notable difference between Delta's 737s and Delta's 320s (same maintainers, right?). 737 couldn't be beat.

It's the genius behind not having an EICAS. Something could be broken -- but you'd never even know it.

Ditto for hot brakes. Hot Brakes - no problem, just remove the brake temperature gauge. Problem solved. :eek:

Do we no longer pay a yearly fee for traveling nonrev now? Mine says exempt and paid already?

You are correct. You can spend that xtra $50 and (almost) get your favorite FA a PS4 game. 😁

I get a phone call, a text and an ARCOS notification. Pretty hard to miss the phone call.
