Same question... Saw a D in that column, but couldn't find that on the help list. Anyone?

Don't know if it's cheaper, though... it seems like I'm paying an awful lot for the whole family, even with the Delta discount. Maybe it's just that shrunken paycheck that's the problem!
I feel like I am paying an arm and a leg at Verizon, but that being said no problems. We have one droid and one blackberry both unlimited plans we share 750 minutes and pay $150+ per month.
Delta discount at Verizon? How did you manage that, they say nothing with Delta when I signed up 2 years ago.

Sinca,

Log into DeltaNet. Under the "Employee Info" tab, select "Employee Perks". Access the Home Page by selecting the link, and enter "Verizon" in the search box.

Verizon offers Delta employees a 20% discount off of the "base" plan price and an additional 25% off accessories.

Good Luck,

GJ

Aren't in base green slips awarded before assignments with conflict? I have a greenie in for today and C (assignment w/conflict) has already been awarded.

I was going from DFW to SLC years ago on a L-1011. (Big 3 engine airplane for all you young guys) It was overbooked by 65 people..... SIXTY FIVE... the gate agent told me.. don't worry.. you'll get on. I thought... the water here in Tejas is a little wierd.. but OK.. I never leave until the airplane pushes... and in the case of the L10, untill you see smoke coming out of all 3 engines... Guess what... I was in 1st class... the agent said that that flight was notorious for no shows... double booking.. etc... Now how much does THAT cost the airlines? But that's right.. those greedy airlines are not allowed to make a profit I guess...

T.........agree completely! We sell big blocks of tickets to our corporate customers which they use or turn back all the time. Brand X always drove me crazy (yes short drive) when they oversold the crap out of flights over holidays. People actually use their tickets over holidays........

I hate to say it, but I've found that our "friends" at SWA seem to be real accurate. If they are selling tickets on their website, I get on. If not, I'm in the jumpseat. Better database? Don't know.....

Don't know, but after being on the road 20 days with one day off reserve the wife said "you are NOT going to the airport" handed me a kid with a pooppy diaper and passed out.

If anyone goes, can we get the bullet points on APC? ACL is also out of position for the crew room debrief.

With bids coming up, inquiring minds want to know. Thinking of bailing out of current equipment.

Yes they should award a GS without conflict before they award one with a conflict. Would the trip they gave out as a conflict have caused a conflict on your schedule if awarded?
