In related news...Alaska management is crawling back to RA with a box of chocolates and some brand new kneepads.

14 hr min for downtown overnight. going from barely 12 to 9 hr overnight and having 1 hr commute back and forth stinks. especially when the downtown stinks compared to the inside the aiport hotel. accomodations never changes it.

you should never have to envy the FAs work rules.

At that time, the friend referral deal on top of their current promotion was better than the Delta deal. Get one of your friends' account numbers, and you and he will get 10 bucks off for the next 10 months. Then after your discounts start falling off, just call and ask what their current promotions are, or start agitating about going back to cable. They will work with you.

I think they're offering Season Ticket for free right now.
LUV/PD,

Thanks for the info. Knew this was the "all knowing" place to come for good intel. Should start marketing/selling all our combined knowledge of facts on this thread.

V/R,

GJ

Sure have to respect him for his dedication and sacrifice of his personal time. He answered every question I could think of to my satisfaction. I stated here that I'd never renew my card. Well, I renewed my card. Good luck to our pilot group.
TC was the FO on my commute to ATL one day while I was in the jumpseat. I asked many questions and he alleviated my concerns. I renewed my card at the end of the flight.

I had a very had experience with Direct TV. Won't ever use them again. It was after the final bill was paid and boxes turned in. I had moved and set up AT and T Uverse all bundled. They said I had ordered a bunch of games that they had not detected before the boxes were turned in. I had not and no one in my family had. It took almost a year of them and a debt collector harrasing me until an attorney friend wrote them a letter to cease.

sorry firstmob, I've got a 30 min ride to a hotel that's not downtown. best part is we just watched our FAs walk into the short layover and their overnight is longer than ours. then we left.

Not to mention their 13 year head start on non-rev benefits.
