What is the easiest/best way to change your contribution amount? DO I go to DELTANET or to the Optum website? I searched the DNET and could not find it so specific info would be very helpful. Thanks.

[You can also add contributions from your checking account through Optum, but they will be after-tax. Probably not what you want to do.]

They have not updated the software in 20 years, nor do they intend to. I actually had a phone call with a technical support rep about this, and he seemed almost offended when I suggested something resembling a 2005 interface, much less anything nearer to 2020. So, do you like the following?
1. Seeing an "export to Palm Desktop Calendar" option.
2. Seeing a reminder that the Outlook calendar option "requires Outlook 98 or newer"
2. Having to sit at your Windows PC--and no other--to use the Windows-only-on-your-hard-drive software to submit open time alerts, or to use EasyBid or EasySwap (for those guys who use those products). No app, no web interface, no ability to use a Chromebook, iMac (unless running Windows or a Windows emulator), iPad, smart phone, you get the idea.
All that said, the open time alerts--amazingly--are a very useful feature that I have also found lucrative, like Sailing has. I just wish that Sabre (who bought FDS years ago for their Flica product which Delta doesn't use) would update the two decade old software, But as long as you accept that they won't, the open time alerts are still pretty nice.

Then there was the automated jumpseat booking....

yup. Put in city pairs, pulled up loads and JS availability for the day. Check a box to list yourself as a non rev or book the JS. Another button told you were you were in non rev list.

The golf course is buzzing with intel that a sleepy fearless leader recently sold 65k truck load of mama delta stock..
