Do Delta ground/gate staff work these JV flights in the US? I know this is a simpleton take on a complicated issue but how do they make money on this route if we can’t? On a side note I watched a JV international flight last week from the gate and there is no way they operate cheaper than us. They had 3 full time gate staff at the gate 4 HOURS before the flight. They did nothing but stand there for two hours. I’m pretty sure it is the only flight they work all day. Then they had 8 PILOTS! Not kidding, 8 pilots. Then they must have had 20 FA’s, there were too many to count. It must be government support that allows these airlines to operate like this.

Those 8 pilots and 20 FAs cost a lot less, but more importantly, they are way more productive.

Has anyone had to do Covid verification under the new rules yet? Would a CVS drive-thru lab test count? Or is there a more convenenient at-home proctored version? Most of the online proctored options I found seem to be discontinued, and I don't want to go through the trouble of getting tested just to get it rejected by Delta.
