Looks like DL is performing far worse than competitors with this recovery. Maybe it’s time for more pilot bases outside the mothership, that alone is contributing to Delta handling this recovery so poorly. Over half the pilots are commuters… invest in our IT systems too. For being “the best airline”, this doesn’t seem like it.

Left 110 pax staring out the window as we flew an empty jet this morning. The flight attendants could not be located and crew tracking would not answer the phone. Good thing I wore my hat, otherwise that could have negatively afftected the NPS.

They need to stop the “we don’t know what jet are going to fly because network wants flexibility” or the “it’s too expensive to open new bases” excuses.
Flight Ops need to make changes and tell network “this are the bases, this is what you have to work with”
A320/737 Bases would be the easiest to have around.

I’ve been saying about more pilot bases for about a year now.

But I fail to see how a new base alleviates any of the chaos right now.

Example…FL pilots could pick up flying out of base WS/GS starting in MCO/FLL/MIA (whatever base they open). Same can be said fromTexas, BoS, etc…
Most trips I’ve been getting called are DH to somewhere but I can’t go because deviating won’t get me there fast enough. Also flights are canceling and there’s no communication with the tracking, crew assist, etc.

Pick up out of base flying will be easier.

Just an idea.

Company was unreachable all day. My first flight canceled before I reported. I never heard from tracking all day even though I tried to contact them many times and various ways. The app had about a 30min delay to get an agent. If listen to that hold music any longer, I might be brainwashed into thinking our operation is the best.
