DL gate agents in ATL aren't great, would bringing then in house really be an improvement?

DL agents in ATL are worlds better than our agents... no comparison in my experience.

Agree. They also have the tools to do their job which helps.

tools include other flights to rebook passengers on, support staff and infrastructure such as ops and “red coats”, a loyalty program that customers have bought into, etc

Barry two years ago offered us Delta pay rates and rumor is we refused.
He closed ORD to spite the pilots.
BL saying we won’t be F9 in a year. We will have merged with a United. We are merging with United.
Everyone hates, BL and he’s being fired.
ETC Etc.

I’ve heard all those rumors too. None of them have materialized or show any truth to reality.

Barry screams like a child and is being fired. Mmmkay.
All of these are BS, nothing is changing. Stop believing things you hear/see online. This place is the worse at spreading rumors. We might see some changes once the B6/NK is approved/denied.

BB put out a new video. I think he’s at his house in Texas or the AA headquarters. Same spin , ATC delays, weather, and our customers going to Paris and Rome vs staying domestic. 🤦‍♂️- Seriously 😳.

Seems you completely overlooked the fact they increased our block and turn times.. this is huge.

The blaming of weather is so cringe though. Like weather hasn’t been around since literally forever. No mention of our on time metrics and rewards program he has been peddling all summer. Every 6 months they find something else to blame, never actually mentioning the elephant in the room.
There is no rumor of BB being on the hot seat because it doesn’t need to be a rumor. The company is performing horribly and it is all on him. He is 100% on the hot seat not because of a rumor, but because he is terrible at his job. This place needs a top down overhaul asap.

Not saying that it isn't cringe. But he is in the hot seat... I am not gonna say that he blames everyone but himself, but the fact we are getting longer turn and block is such a good thing.

DS also said that they are working on fixing a lot of our ops and gate agent stuff... no idea what that means, but we will see.

Sorry nothing against you but I’m too dumb to figure how to post without quoting someone

I’m glad they are increasing block and turn times (Although it’s mostly block times that’s the issue but that costs money) but you and me and every other crew member could have told them this was a huge problem a year ago when they were trying to blame crew for headstart issues. He’s always too late. The CEO of a major airline should be 5 steps ahead. He’s seriously so bad at his job I can’t even believe it. Nothing will change until he and BL are gone and that is a fact.
