Does anybody know if they can remove your vacation to schedule OE?

“Improvements in Deadhead seating” article on DLNet. Looks like they may have finally fixed this for us!

Once again yesterday's technology tomorrow! Delta IT at its finest....

This townhall is a clear example why people are upset about with ALPA. I'm going to spend an hour patting myself on the back and explaining stuff that I've already explained in detail in memos that have gone out to the membership. Newsflash ALPA, if they didn't read your emails, they didn't tune into your townhall. The people who tuned in want new information, not a rehash of the last year. It's the same reason I don't read the newspaper from last March.

Additionally, Jason, you should be excited to be hosting a virtual town hall. You can reach so many more people this way. I don't care if you want to be in the lounge. I have no desire to speak to you in person and neither do the vast majority of the pilots. I want questions to be submitted, answered on an online recorded format for everyone to view at their leisure, and then an opportunity for follow up questions to be submitted and answered. Your administration should be pushing for more online and virtual opportunities to communicate. The old way of doing business with sitting in lounges and reaching 50 people a day is pathetic. You're reaching fractional percentages of each council and most of the time, you're only talking to your buddies and cronies anyway about boats or kids, not getting real feedback.

Finally, it's no wonder the company wanted Jason, he has a very poor command of himself when speaking and presenting himself. Imagine if there had been an online debate for MEC chairman. That would've clearly shown Jason to be inadequate for the position.

not trying to bring up a Ryan vs Jason debate, but why do the LEC reps pick the MEC chair instead of a membership vote?

Yea it felt like it was all scripted didn't it? And agreed Jason didn't seem comfortable, potentially trying not to say the wrong thing knowing that the company was probably watching. I didn't take much away from it, and i usually get a ton more from skyHub TBH. As ALPA is most times, reactionary to everything the company does. I just don't understand why people can't submit questions real time and they can give real time responses...not presubmitted questions.

If they could shut up with the april fools jokes, that would be great. I didn't hate it, but we sure didnt talk about much. To workshop it, if you guys are listening, instead of talking about how you did your job, do a "this moa/loa gets you: (bullet points)" as a little review. If the loa is great, we will know it.

Ok, where is KCM in DTW? Not where it used to be. MiCrew says Westin...I’m gonna need it in a few hours. Thx

Last time I was there, it was near upper level security. Coming from the Westin, walk to the end of the ticket counter near security. Walk through a door at the far right side of the ticket counter. It leads down a halway and exits to the KCM checkpoint. It has been a couple months for me, don't know if you were saying that one is no longer there.

Upstairs, North of the Westin valet desk/check in, through a door that is to the right of Delta check in and just left of Clear.
