Is there some sort of unwritten rule about where to put your luggage while jumpseating on DAL? I know what it says about deadheading and bags in the belly, but jumpseating says coach in overhead bins. Is this not the proper South ettiquette?

Typically I like to drop the my bags in the forward galley, turn to the A line and say,
"Yo, take care of this!"

Lol! Did your bags end up in the jetway?

Did you ever notice a funny taste in your Coke when they hand it through the door?

It's nice to sit reserve in a fat category, but when they start to assign 10 SC a day, it's all a wash.

Good news! I just saw the short call projected times list and it says they only need 4 a day. Why would they deviate from that and assign 10? There must be a mistake.

"IROPS"

As we all know with a operation this big there are IROPS every day somewhere.

With bases and categories all over the country they will flex on base (ATL and DTW 320) when another part of the system goes down.

If I have plenty of time from my DH to my operating flight and or I am going to the hotel, I stick the bag down stairs. If it is a International DH I put the bag somewhere in the cabin, as going down stairs to retrieve a bag can prove quite problematic.
