That's exactly my point johnso. That's all we should be doing. Trying to predict the future by extrapolating comments from DALPA and crew planning is a fool's errand. Neither one of those entities has accurate information because neither one are the decision makers. Pumping sunshine to keep hope alive among the many pilots hoping for growth and upgrades is cruel in my opinion.

No need to get beotchey.

Timbo has a lot of credibility.

Agreed.

Most people don't know this about Timbo but: When opportunity knocks, and Timbo's not home...opportunity waits.

FL370,

I don't know you....but I know Timbo. He's a great **** and a reputable Delta pilot. You've been here for about 24 hours. Before you start calling guys like Timbo out, you need to establish yourself. So far, you're out if your league.

But in all seriousness, drift down is never an issue. And as long as there's enough pavement, the -80 gets it done just fine out west.

That's very true. The MD-80 experience was once summed up by my Captain sometime last year: "Damn, I'm pretty sure I can smell my balls."

Dear 80ktsClamp,

You need to visit the folks over at FreshBalls. They'll hook you up with everything you need.

Smootches,

KTHX biidD!

I've been listening to hoobastank lately, and it has only worsened the issue.

I'll freshen up and call you in the morning.

Here's the question. If she does check it does it go to the final destination no matter if she's on the plane or not.

Example CHS - ATL - DUB doesn't make this connection so she does CHS - JFK - DUB did her bag make it there or not?

A little help would be appreciated.

PM if you can.
Domestically, bag goes for sure. Supposedly, on international, bag is supposed to match up with plane occupants, but I've had nonrevs bags make it all the way to RIO when the nonrev couldn't even get off of Hawaii for two straight days, so go figure....
