Delta thanks employees for working over Thanksgiving holiday weekend
November 27, 2013
Delta planned to show appreciation to many frontline employees who are working the holiday Thursday with turkey dinners and a variety of thank-you efforts as the airline faces one of its busiest stretches of the year.
In-Flight Service has been showing their appreciation for flight attendants around the system this month with a series of events. During this week flight attendants working the busy schedule saw everything from grab-and-go lunches [in the pilot lounge when they went to park their rollerbag in front of a computer] and hot holiday meals to hot apple cider and pancakes served in flight attendant lounges.
Many Airport Customer Service employees at Delta hubs will be served Thanksgiving meals Thursday, while other locations have holiday meals planned later in December, ACS leaders said. Some divisions such as Delta TechOps already held Thanksgiving meal events prior to the holiday.
At Delta Cargo, operational teams are set to enjoy turkey dinners brought in for those working the holiday while the customer service center staff has plans for a pot luck lunch in Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul, where they will bring sides to compliment ham and turkey provided by Delta.
In Reservation Sales, a series of holiday pies and coffee are set to be available for specialists working the holiday while some stations have catered meals and trays of meats and sandwiches.
In turn, many Delta people continue to donate coats and other items to help those less fortunate during the holiday season. IFS is continuing its Giving360 winter coat and food drive this week at all bases with a goal of delivering thousands of items to those in need around the country on Dec. 20. ACS is doing its own coat drive and other divisions are participating in charitable efforts as well.

WOW! I guess you can't say we weren't warned!
Maybe I wasn't humble enough?

I know it has been covered but:
How do I purchase a full fare DAL ticket, discounted for employees? Is it worth it or can I buy cheaper on web-sites? Thanks.

My experience, so take that for what it's worth, the 'savings' depend on the route & specific flights you choose. It may behoove you to check competing sites like Kayak, Priceline, etc. to make sure you're getting the best deal possible. YMMV

While we are talking about non-rev issues. Do we have any privileges on British Airways? I can't find any.
Second question. Can we jump seat on United/Continental internationally? I want to go from EWR-LIS.

Even the "Fly Confirmed for Less," tickets may non-refundable depending on various hidden factors. Also, if you change dates you will notice that the new tickets are considerably more expensive due to the fact that "hidden" change fees have been applied.

I'd love to hear some feedback on Lisbon / Portugal. It's the only country on that continent I haven't spent time in. I'm guessing there isn't enough traffic there for us, but Lisbon 80 years ago was a large center of commerce and an important internationally neutral ground.

Somebody with paint please create a concept- FTB?
I think the comments RE the 777 not making (enough) money were in reference to the /BE/Y mix of seats. DL is planning to pull out some BE seats and FC seats on domestic planes and replace them with coach, since they are not filling all the FC seats on most flights, save for 'free' upgrades. The 777 was specifically mentioned in this initiative. Sucks for non revving!!!

I know, I should probably be asking this on airliners.net but thought I'd get opinions here. I like to know how our product stacks up. The quality of the seats up front will likely drive the hyper competitive business travelors in the coming years as AA and UA get back on their feet post merger.
AA seems to have a pretty good setup and good food.

As things heat up among the last 3 remaining Legacies how do we stack up? Would be good to get pilot reports from guys who have ridden on all of them up front.
Here's a site with customer reviews covering business class across the the entire Delta fleet.

On its new 777-300s just being put into service, coach cabins have 10 seats in each row. The width of the fuselage didn't change—it's a longer airplane—so the seats shrank from more than 18 inches to about 17 inches. Other airlines are making similar moves with widebody cabins.
