How is reserve on the 7ER B in NYC? Lot's of SC's? Do they keep you in base by doing SC, LC, SC, LC? Are crash pads $250+??

I probably won't hold it with the ATL surpluses, but I'm curious as to how it's been.

How could you not hold it? The 4 most junior people at Delta are on the 7ER in NYC. I've had two SC this month so far. Called in on first one at 3:45 am UHG. Sept I had 4 SC. I think the most I've ever had was 5 in one month, but that is like 10 on any other airplane.

No shizzle. Getting my fam to ATL is proving to be a challenge. Air France maybe?

OK, so did you see the news tonight that a "Delta pilot" on a Delta flight from Asheville to Lagardia was trapped in lav while the only FA onboard this "Delta jet" was in the cockpit. I bet Delta management is sure proud of that! I think we should flood the reps and CPOs with emails about this one.

the 90/10 "coinsurance" is an outrage. MUST have contractually protected health plan (in addition to DPMP) in C2012.

Which system are you on Diamond or Gold? Thanks. Was going to PM you but you are soooo NEW! LOL

If your in the mood for some comedy, check out the regional thread post about this "incident".

Either way it's an embarrassment.

In slight defense of those involved who are strangers to me, you've got a crappy door design and one single flight attendant on the airplane who is in the cockpit.

What were the alternatives for the captain in the lav?
