Quote: Last summer the air conditioning went out at the PHF hotel. I wrote an fcr after hearing what a hotel maintenance guy told me about the AC system. It cant handle super hot or super cold. My room was 90, the hallways were 95 and my first room was over 100F. The hotel staff admitted that nothing was really wrong with the AC. When confronted by Delta the hotel manager lied and said the system was fixed. I hate that hotel.
Come on!!! "1, 2, 3, 4...If we have to overnight at Patrick Henry Field (PHF) then we must overnight at Patrick Henry Mall!"

It's not catchy, but it's worth the letter writing effort. Google maps Patrick Henry Mall and see what's all there. It's literally 5 min max to the airport. Maybe 10 min if you hit every light at 445am.

BTW, outside of visiting colonial Williamsburg I can't think of another reason to go anywhere near that town. It sounds fancy, but it's not.

I believe when Boeing shut the line down they destroyed all rigs and tooling required to make the 757. Unless they started over than no more 757s ever.
Quote: I completely understand the reason for the upper wing inspection... the MD-88/90's at delta had a fix for the problem with overwing heaters, though. ?
MD-90's don't have overwing heaters.
The Delta Net is temporarily down, how can I see what my schedule is next month? I went to the Flight Operations page, but I can't see Feb awards. Does anyone know how to look it up? Thank You.
Quote: I don't think this is correct. I believe you can turn down a GS for any reason. You are under no obligation to accept one. White slips are a different story though.
You have it exactly backwards. GS's are not a proffer. It is assumed that if you put in a request to fly a GS you actually want to fly it. There are some exemptions and reasons you might not be available but they are not proffers.
WS's on the other hand are proffers if its for the same day or less then 12 hours from initial notification attempt by the company.
WS's beyond same or next day coverage are not proffers and you must fly them. The company has no notification responsibility in this situation. If you have a WS in you are required to check yourself to see if it was awarded.
did you know, speaking of ground personell, that the outstations only have 5-10 min to look over the plane and identify missing parts or damage and if something is subsequently found theyre responsible. Some stations are hard core, and honestly in a good way, at finding stuff.

But we found out the hard way that the catalog of dents on the airframe are oddly wipped away after painting but of course the dents are not. So a proactive station found them, reported them and we were grounded for an hour and a half as the contract mx guy had to first get there and then do a 7 page checklist on the multiple painted over dents. Thats not an out station issue, thats a mx records issue and hopefully, hopefully, was just this one plane.

just a fwiw.

Can you get to the Crew Resources & Scheduling page? If you pull up the Feb Awards a lot of the FO schedules don't have the x icon, but if you click the blank it'll still pull of up.
Hey folks,

You know how you DON'T accept a GS? DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE!!!

Thats the key obviously, plus dont have a gs in unless you want one, but maybe there are some new numbers with scheduling and youre waiting for an important call... still, I have 0 slips in and never answer.
On my time card for DEC it showed that I had 8 hrs of re-route pay. It doesnt look like they paid that on my pay statement. How do I check?
