Wow, getting ballast put in the back. That may help.

I non-reved to CVG on one of our 50's a couple weeks ago and I was in row 8 squeezed next to another big guy. Half way through the flight I went to use the lav and realized row 13 was wide open. So I quickly grabbed my stuff and went back there. The male FA saw me and made me move back to row 8 because I couldn't sit back there. I asked him why and he said for weight and balance. Huh?? I wanted to tell him that it was probably better if I sat back there and me being in row 8 means I'm in the same section. Of course I'm just a furloughed guy and he didn't know that. So I couldn't really argue.

Well on a positive note. Delta just added Verizon wireless to the discount list. Just look on sparkfly. Got my 20% discount going today. Just need a paystub and your company id. Guess that will last til I get furloughed in the next round.

You are technically supposed to be on property when checks are issued. It does not matter if you worked or not in the quarter.

I lost my last check and when I tried to get it replaced they wouldn't because they said the checks were issued to furloughees by mistake to begin with.

I ended up getting the money after the union put some pressure on them.

This happened to me on a 900 recently. I think it was a Pinnacle flight, but I'm not certain about it. Anyway the last row was wide open and when I started to move back there the FA said it had to be left open for weight and balance issues. I was a revenue passenger that day, so I probably should have said something but didn't. When I went to the lav, I could see that the FA's personal belongings were strewn across those seats, which may explain why he didn't want me back there.

Try using the link off of Deltanet. That's where I found it.
