Yep, works great. Hope I don't get busted. If I used it all month I would gladly pay the $30 Sprint hotspot option, but I only tether about twice a month.

See above. Around 12 to 15 mbps at the airport.

I thought of adding capts. also. But I have not flown with any other than myself on the bus. It was a given that he was sharper than me.

Absolutely. Wonder if AE delay has to do with them rethinking just how much assets they want to put into ATL vs. spreading out the risk and impact of an IROPS event?

ALPA and DELTA are sending me emails to come to work, they need all hands on deck to recover from irops, etc...

After getting caught in the last snowstorm, and having to deal with reroute, no communications, no updated schedule, no hotel rooms available, no answers as to when I might actually get home, no crew transportation, NO EXTRA PAY ('beyond the company's control'), and basically no support from operations whatsoever, why in the world would I put myself in that mess voluntarily? Fix the system, PAY ME for my reroute, and I'll show up next time. Until then, I've got less important things to do...

Deltanet, Employee Info at top of welcome screen, scroll down and choose Self-Service, then log in and go to ESS, then tax info. Its the benefits side of the whole Extranet.

Good luck

With the merger that data is dated but Atlanta has always been a great market. In addition if you move flying to other hubs you have to give up the gates in ATL and allow more competing flying and drive yields down.
I was also told another reason DL loves ATL is that the cost of doing business with the ATL airport authority is about 10 fold lower than our competitors, i.e. AA at DFW among others.

The ALPA site is down as well. Good thing that's where all the phone numbers, contact stuff and whatnot are in case you need call someone during an IROP.
