Of course they are smarter but some bean counter is trying to reinvent the wheel. They'd rather have DH credit and eat 2 seats than worry about the min day pay penalty or credit penalty

What a low bar for 'success' we have now too. Last time I looked we had ~98.5% completion factor and our on time was in the 50s. If I paid a significant premium for my tickets I would be none too happy with that.

But we are #1 for on time arrivals with our 50ish % rate!

Pffff.....

Stop it.

The only reason it isn't "melting down" (according to you) is due to reroutes, green slips, and inverse assignements..... Plenty of #4 and 5 GS's going out. I've already seen a number 2 for the July bid month, and we are only two days in. My phone has been receiving multiple inverse assignment calls most every night/early morning.

But you're right..... SUCCESS!!!

Why can’t Deltanet have an American flag or red white and blue colors. Not trying to pick on Pride month, but I contend the 4th is just as important, and they had that flag for a whole month. It’s silly, but some of us notice these things and care. If it’s just me I will be quiet.

Aren't Delta colors literally red, white and blue?

Hahaha. Yeah when I wrote it I chuckled. But you get the point. I feel like the 4th should be celebrated like lots of other things. This ain’t an argument against having other things. Not trying to make it like that.

I think that's a fair criticism. We'll see if we get an email blast today.

To be fair, though, I didn't know they had a permanent Pride banner all month

Spend time with your family. Fire up the grill. Watch a movie. Grab a cerveza or two. There are a MILLION things better to do on this holiday than wonder about the colors on DeltaNet. YMMV.

HAPPY 4TH Everyone! And enjoy the Holiday Pay for those of us working
