This happens to newK every leg, maybe its time to rethink the lilacs.

 

With newK, they simply move the gate, terminal, and indeed, the entire land mass to where the plane stops.

Duh....

Nu

Alright, you hang with the lilacs, your call.

My bad tho, you are right, I heard a mountain move out of newK's way when he was on a depressurization route just because the course was in the wrong place. The plane later shot itself for depressurizing.

 

The rampers don't just walk out to the airplane.... they come out doing backflips and instantly fully service the airplane. No one ever misses their connection when newK is captain.

 

Funny I noticed that hole last time I was there!
As for the reason we get treated like red headed step children at our gate could be that we are FDAL and they are revolting towards us. I would say its a union thing but who knows. They most certainly are unmotivated lazy uncooperative people working our flights.
Calling does absolutely know good, and I doubt the COR that are piling up will do any good either...
Oh well, just avoid DTW when able.

 

Nah, they have treated the North guys like this for eons!

 

Delta Air Lines is cutting more routes at Cincinnati, once a large hub for the carrier.

A scheduling update loaded by the carrier on May 22 and subsequently confirmed by Delta, shows Cincinnati service ending Sept. 7 to Albany and Buffalo, N.Y.; Charleston, W.Va.; Des Moines, Iowa, and Little Rock, Ark. Delta operates daily service on the routes.

Airlineroute.net, which reports airline scheduling changes, says Delta is replacing its Charleston and Little Rock services with a corresponding increase in daily service from Detroit. Delta says all the Cincinnati markets being cut will be served by its other hubs.

Delta has downgraded Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to small-hub status following its merger with Northwest Airlines. Delta now offers fewer than 200 flights a day there, down from a peak of more than 600.

Delta said earlier this year that its focus in Cincinnati will be to expand and maintain service to the top markets, and especially the top business markets, with plans to maintain 160 to 170 daily flights at the city this year (DAILY, Feb. 23). That's the level of service Delta is operating there now and even with the fall route cuts, Delta says May 24 that it remains committed to operating 160 to 175 daily flights in Cincinnati.

"The numbers may vary slightly after the summer peak, but considering the seasonal markets we serve, we'll remain in that range for the fall schedule," a Delta spokeswoman says. She says the route cuts "are related to the ongoing development of the fall schedule, which has not yet been finalized."

 

When did they start charging an additional $75 for parents on international flights? I see that all people traveling S3B or S3C get dinged with this charge. Since they are not traveling with me (from Canada) they will be charged an extra $150! I'd probably be better off with an Air Canada zed fare!

They don't get the S2 days do they?

 

All I could find on DeltaNet about a $75 fee was for parents on "a trans-oceanic flight day", so I can't see why you'd get charged for a flight from Canada. There are taxes and fees for many international destinations so those might be the charges. What does it say under "View Pass Charges"?

You can search DeltaNet for "Mom and Dad Have the TravelBug" for a complete explanation of Parents travel.

Parents don't get S2s unless you don't have a spouse/travel companion.
