Heads Up MSP Commuters
The new training hotel (Crown Plaza in St Paul) is almost twice as expensive as the Comfort Inn was. As I recall, last year for CQ I paid $70 something (maybe just under $80?) at the Comfort but the best rate I could get at the Crown for Delta Integration trainging was $139 ($150 something out the door). Guess this year for CQ I I'll stay at the LaQuinta and rent a car.
Also, with distances involved and the only van to and from the airport to hotel at 30 minutes, you will have to leave more time getting out to the training center.

Ok, not really flame bait but a controversial post. I was in Rome yesterday and the gate agents who have been working Delta flights for years were complaining about the Airbus 330s that we have been putting on the ATL-ROM leg. They said that it is so weight limited that you can't fill it with people and cargo. If you use all the seats they could only put on 2000 lbs of cargo. They even had to put half of the Bus's ATL pax bags on the ER going to NY.
If this is true the future of the Bus IMHO is limited. Our network guys love the belly cargo. I have been told that some routes the belly would make a profit and the pax are just gravy. I don't see those guys sticking with a plane that doesn't give them that option. Maybe there are some routes out there that the Bus is better suited?
Any truth to this, Bus guys? Not trying to start a war, just passing on an anecdote.

Heard a rumor from a JFK ER F/O that if there is an early retirement program offered and if it is mostly fNWA guys that take and it happens before SOC that NWA would like to "revisit" the seniority list construction based on removing the newly retired guys from the original list...ie "pull out" the ret. guys then re-do the list from scratch without them.
