I had things as an intern at CAL back in 2008 that we don't have yet at DAL in 2019... So as far as employee IT we are at least 10 or 15 years behind UAL. Though as you stated they don't care about the employee experience it's all about pinching that penny to make the dollar.
A question for the nonrev guru’s out there. My wife and I are possibly trying to nonrev SEA-BKK-SEA. We can get back and forth on Delta SEA-ICN and then MyID travel ICN-BKK and back. I’ve only done the MyID thing once and that was without checked baggage. The question: Do I need to claim checked baggage and recheck it as we pass thru ICN both ways or can I check it straight thru SEA-BKK and back?
Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend trying to only bring a carry on suitcase and a backpack. With no checked bags, ICN is an amazing airport to transit as a non rev. I’d say AMS is the only international airport I can think of that is easier.
I don’t know about Korean Air specifically, but from experience, KLM and Air France will NOT send your luggage through to a delta non rev flight. I imagine it’s the same and You’ll have to clear immigration both ways in Korea to get your checked luggage.

Depending who you ZED on they may even check your carry on whether you like it or not at the gate. Good news at this point no need to go back out to security. Asian carriers have less tolerance for carry on size/weight than we do. Last time on Cathay they made us check our very normal 22" rollers (not the heavy metal pilot ones) so keep that in mind.
Thanks for the info guys. That’s kinda what I figured. As far as not checking bags, if it was just me, I definitely would NOT check any bags. Just not going to happen with the wife coming also.
I actually bought 2 round trip tickets on KAL for $1250 total. I couldn’t pass up that price for confirmed seats. It’s just going to be some long travel days sitting in coach. Hopefully the flights won’t be too full. Going over it’s SEA-ICN-BKK. Coming back it’s BKK-ICN-SFO-SEA.
I got the insurance so i can get the money back if decide to try and nonrev. Probably will just stick with the tickets though. We are meeting my brother and sister-in-law there.

75D/H always have felt like marketing took a flier fav and destroyed it with a few too many rows. Me's thinks it's the jammed door 2L/R that greets fliers with nothing but scores of coach seats, whereas before when boarding you saw bulkheads to the left closing off first class and then seats to the right. Even when I've sat in the F cabin, it feels crunched.
That door 2L is also why we can get people on/off a 757 quicker than the 321.
I thought the 717 were getting AVOD and sticking around until the end of the decade?
We have to order Boeing next go around to keep them actually interested in selling us planes. But do we really want to buy Boeing's next jet when everything new they've built since the Dreamliner is plagued with issues and grounded?

from the base meeting...AE will be coming out more than likely in November....
Hiring 1350 next year...expect 3% growth every year for awhile, expect to be a net gain of 400 pilots a year, this includes growth, retirement, and attrition
2 New 350's coming in Q1 and Q2....LATAM jets are still up in air (need seat configure and cabin overhaul, will take approximately 2 years for cabin mod (marketing may put jets in as is Q4 of 2020 or Q1 of 2021
Opening 717 Base in MSP (30 crews) but removing 30-40 crews/FOs off 7ER on this next AE
Still looking at BOS as 320/7ER base with the growth there, surprisingly also looking at AUS as 320 base. MCO in mix as well...
757's to be redeployed into more shorthaul markets from ATL due to lower NPS scores than the 321 and believe it or not, quicker turnaround time from the 321 by about 5-10 minutes. 757 will be mainly going to a domestic market in the next 1-2 years. A321 NEOs will be doing transcons to start and Hawaii eventually
88's going away end of 2020, keeping around 15 MD90's for unknown time...
717's will stay at least till 2024 with potential till 2031 (life cycle ends in 2031)
7ER replacement still looking at NMA with Boeing but need to make decision soon
Airbus is having a quality control problem with jets out of Hamburg, which is pushing back some of our 321 deliveries 8-9-10 months
330-900NEO having some issues as well with certification of certain systems...
most new 350's will be deployed to DTW
No issues with A220 engines as ours are have lower thrust rating than Swiss and Baltic, buuuuuut, still having some growing pains with some of the quality coming out of Mirabel...

Non-rev question about AMS. Travelnet says you won't be able to see the stand-by list until after the flight has departed (makes it kind of useless) because KLM runs things. Except when I look at Travelnet for a flight leaving later today I can see how many non-revs are listed.
Anyone with experience non-revving out of AMS have more info? Am I misunderstanding the warning on travelnet? Is the stand-by list not accurate and missing people?
Thanks.

I have found the AMS agents do not leave non revs behind like some agents in ATL, DTW and JFK. For all Captains inquiring at the gate if there are non revs and if they will make the flight seems to mitigate these issues since the agents know you are concerned and don’t want a last minute delay.
