Let's see....[checks flightaware cancellations...that's odd....]

Uh, one airline is rather conspicuously missing from the list today. I'm sure it's just a glitch? The data is there for yesterday, but not today or tomorrow.

https://flightaware.com/live/cancelled/today

I've long suspected that big companies have departments that do nothing except work with search engine/data aggregators to suppress unflattering news. 2 years ago you could google any airline and see an daily example of, uh, shenanigans' in the plane/terminal. Across all carriers, unless it's really, really bad, you almost never find that stuff now unless you know exactly what to look for in advance. I don't believe "customer service challenges" have gone away, but I'd be willing to bet that google is more than happy to offer a "Fortune 500 News Protection Package"...for a fee.

That's fine, and a smart business strategy. But woe to he who goes to "The Google" for reliable information.

I wonder how much the Presidential candidate package was priced at?

Well boys and ladies, I wonder when we might get a new CFO?
PJ used to be in the office daily and it was good and somewhat reassuring to see him wave at me on occasion as I walked by.
He is long gone - office empty, no pictures or airplane models, lights off.. Looks very lonely.
Who is steering the ship?

I miss RA too. Those two likes running the airline and did some good.

Default Buddy Passes

OK I give up - where/how in the DELTANET do I go to add people as buddy pass riders?

Thanks Scoop

I haven’t done it and could be completely wrong but I believe it’s in Self Service.

In re: Flightaware cancellations.

Disregard. Delta is back on the board. (but I screenshot-ed the morning page, just because)

Heap large pile of delays. No cancellations posted. Happy NY, etc.

Correct - I finally stumbled across it. How intuitive, under dependents.

Thanks

I also liked R Anderson's operational focus. However, from a line pilot's perspective, he and our MEC were heading for a battle that I think he would have won.

Here are gory details of taking down the more than 10,000 Northwest Mechanics when they went down the DPA (independent) route and Anderson crushed them.
