Wow, you must be real junior if you can't hold NYC, but I guess NYC is second fiddle to DTW for the most junior base.
Funny story, last trip had an long layover in DTW, so I asked the captain about contractually having to be put downtown on a long layover, and he was response was basically you don't want anything to do with downtown DTW.

I'll tell you one thing, NYC M88B has been understaffed for a few months now. Approximately 85-90 captains in relation to 65-70 first officers, reserves have been upwards up a 120 RAW score by months end.

Boxer Calls for Industry-Wide Policy on Military Baggage Fees After Delta Flap - FoxNews.com

Seriously this is becoming overkill at this point.

Let's say I bid 320, then ER on both my AE and VD bids. Now let's say I could hypothetically hold the ER on the Ae but the 320 on the VD, which one would I get?

forgot to bid

My wife had a good point, why make a video and post it before you let the company, in this case Delta, respond? Get to your destination and say "excuse me, can you help me? I was charged..."

Guys,

I've been thinking through the amount of recalling/hiring at other carriers...is DAL missing something? Here are the ones I'm aware of that are recalling/hiring now or in the next few months:

Alaska
American
Continental / United
Hawaiian
US Airways
AirTran / Southwest
Allegiant
Frontier / Republic
JetBlue
Virgin America
FedEx
Regionals - not sure

That really just leaves us and UPS as the big ones not hiring. What's the major difference between us and every other carrier in this list that's holding us back? (Besides the continual outsourcing of our narrowbody flying?) Are we still reaping the consequences of the early-out offered a few years back?

Thanks,
FlyZ

I'm just amazed by the amount of overreaction that goes on, partly due to an over-saturation of media. I totally get why these guys are upset, and why they feel that they should not be charge, wholeheartedly I agree with them. I don't necessarily agree with the way they went about it, but even that is not the issue.
I'm just floored at how everyone and their mother is out to demonize DAL, or any airline with a similar policy, and it's ironic to see politicians jumping on the bandwagon now as well. It just disgusts me to see certain Politicians slug their way into the limelight trying to capitalize their own agenda on the back of a minor news event.

When DAL is wrong I'll come out and say it, but I think people need to lighten up and move on from this.

15 minutes of fame - enough said. BZ to them for serving our country.

BTW O'Reilly had a good analysis this morning on F&F. He said, this is what you get when you don't pay your employees enough (DAL) and then take away whatever power they might have to make a good decision at their level.

I don't think the scenario would be possible. The VD uses the seniority number of the guy that you are volunteering to be displaced for. He would have to be able to hold the 320. You would hold the 320 on the AE before you could hold it on the VD.

Yes Grandpa, really.... That's good because you would lose.
