Ya... Don't we wish!!! :D

Quick Non-Rev Question:

I'm trying to get the family back from Asia. There are flights with 30+ seats in Business and just a couple in coach. My two kid's ages prohibit listing and traveling in Business.

If there are a ton of seats up front and the back is full, will they leave non-revs at the gate or might they bump a couple rev pax to Business to accommodate non-revs? Is there a policy or is it just up to the gate agent?

Thanks,
Humboldt

Sorry, I guess that was a little confusing. Two flights remaining between Saipan and Narita.:o

I hope so. One of the Nagoya flight attendants though it was coming back in July, but I didn't see it in Deltamatic.

The summer skeds are not loaded yet. Check our the Network portion of DAL net for the future Excel uploads. (read do not post here)

On the non rev question. They may or may not upgrade folks in Asia to get your kids on. It depends on the class of ticket. Full fare yes, but not anything else. Talk to them.

Ok, another question. I am a RSV guy I did a GS and I got 2 PB days. Can someone tell me how to get the biggest bang out of them. Am I better off using them as vacation or what? THanks.

Quick question: trying to set up friends for a swap...want to park a trip then pick back up. I know the pilot has to be in your category but do they also have to be a regular schedule holder or can it be a reserve pilot with the days off to temporarily park the trip? Thanks for the help.

Two things. First, why are pilots at Delta Air Elite not on the Delta seniority list?

Second, here's the letter I'm about to fire off:

Dear Captain O'Malley,

I was pleased to read your recent all pilot letter laying out your priorities and the MEC's coming focus on pilot education.

It disturbed me, however, to see no mention of scope on your priority list. As you know, scope is a bedrock issue for us: 76-seat flying represents Delta jobs lost and JVs, code shares, and marketing agreements that give away swaths of our narrow and wide body flying represent Delta jobs lost.

I respectfully submit that our MEC make clear that we absolutely will not budge on >76-seat scope. Further, our goals should include reclaiming all flying above 70 seats for Delta Seniority List pilots and getting back as much of the flying that we've given away to Alaska, SkyTeam, et. al. that we can. I don't care who holds the lease on the metal, but I do care who employs the pilots.

Thank you for your devotion to restoring this profession for us all. I look forward to great things in the future.

The PB days you get must be placed on the first RSV days avail. The only way to bank them is at the end of the month when there are no days avail in which to place them on.

Sounds good. Nice job!
