Yeah no kidding. I still miss some of those old programs. Show'en my age

We also had an oldie but goodie. It had pull down menus for the lazy, but if you knew the "codes" you could get an amazing amount of info out of PARS (the old gate agent/reservation system). We had an exgate agent who was our checkin lady in MEM who made a great list..........could even check real loads on Contential when we did the code share with them.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Transportation Department says Delta Air Lines, American and Hawaiian will get four new routes to Haneda airport in Tokyo.

The airport has been off-limits to U.S. airlines since 1978. Currently, U.S. airlines fly to Narita airport, but that is further away from the center of Tokyo and less attractive for business travelers.

The decision gives Hawaiian Airlines one route from Honolulu. Delta gets two routes -- one from Los Angeles, the other from Detroit. American Airlines can add service from JFK Airport in New York.

The Transportation Department rejected applications from United Airlines, Continental Airlines, and Continental's Micronesia unit.

The decision on Tuesday finalizes a tentative decision issued in May.

Deltamatic is the same way, and your e-mail login works for that at the workstations, but it is truly a foreign language. When 30+ year gate agents have a two inch think cheat book, that should tell you something.

That's good.

As a side note, TSA also made a new rule, TSA employees can no longer access chat/messaging, controversial opinion, criminal activity, extreme violence and gaming.

But evidently porn is okay... the one thing government employees seem to have a problem with.

I mean all of the routes awarded used to be NWA Firth Freedom routes prior to being kicked to NRT way back when. I still think we should have gotten all of them.

Who are all these people who keep calling my phone? Lately I've been deadheading more than Frank Abignale on the run from the FBI.

BTW - did my first few legs on f-NWA aircraft with their FA's. They did a totally awesome job. Set a new standard for PA announcements, although you could tell they did not see much difference between waiting for a parking spot in JFK, or ATL.

Yes,

But we all knew they would not give us all of them. I'm sure CAL & UAL aren't happy, but they do have ANA.
