The Song flight attendants did not lift the bags. What they did do was insure the bags were correctly placed in the bins, consolidate smaller items to make additional space and encourage people to step out of the aisles. Really made a difference in boarding. Also reduced the need to gate check bags.

Sailing,

You may remember that twice in my now 35 years with Delta it was observed the operation was deemed too unreliable for business to use our airline. With OT percentages in the 60's that call is being made again.

In both cases, major accounts sent out internal memos telling employees and contractors not to use Delta.

What exactly is an "assignment" given to someone on the iCrew daily trip coverage?

If it looks like "A#1," it is an Inverse Assignment.

I was unaware we are in the sixties. That type of ontime quickly leads to a system collapse with massive crew reroutes. Lasts stats I saw had us in the mid eighties. I have not seen May.
Edit: May ontime posted as 85%

Default Question for the 73/320 folks

If you have a trip with credit time does it pay at the 738/320 rate or 739/321 rate? Same thing with reserve guarantee, Bigger or smaller rate?

Thanks

I believe trip credit is smaller rate and reserve credit is bigger rate. I haven’t looked in contract in a while.
