They are awesome notes, and great for ppl to read, but just a little too good. The DALPA board may be a good place for it since it will be DAL pilots only that are seeing it.

It's worth the money just to know you're going (and more importantly coming back on schedule.)
Good deals to be had, but you definitely need to shop around. You can go 90% of the way through the booking process and see the price before you have to pull the trigger. Have fun on the vacation! I'm jealous. I'll be up all night with a newborn about the time you're sipping cocktails on the beach.

Have fun with the newborn man. Some nights you will sleep very little, but cherish it. They truly are a blessing, and you'll love every second.

So sharing it on here is ok? Honest question because I don't know.
Thanks.
