Hired by Delta 3 years later. Between that and Delta, I did get 3 type ratings and pass my ATP in conjunction with my 737 type.

Everyone screws up. Some worse than others. Learn from it and learn how to explain how you learned from it. And, if at all possible, teach others to make new, different bonehead mistakes and not repeat yours.

How do you change nonrev travel priority after check-in? I tried rechecking, but the travel priority screen doesn’t pop up. Thx.

It was probably a long time ago and it was the norm. We actually used to fly them at the airline. The DME arcing approach into Helena at night in a snowstorm was always interesting and generally hand flown.

2014. So not super recent but not ancient history.

Delta just announced a pretty big expansion of flying into PTY. Must be a pretty significant increase in demand from tourists/expats there.
