I can't believe Comair didn't come in first. In the last year we got ACARS, WiFi, and our pilot seniority list takes less paper than any other time in the last 17 years.

This will probably be answered by someone on the following 5 pgs, but if not...I dont know, but there is an email you can ask the question to on the front page of the crew resouce pg on dlnet. The community corner on the dalpa page also has a direct line to the sced gurus...fwiw.

tsquare

You are listening to pilots rightfully complain about IT because of Icrew which is probably at the bottom of the IT's priority list.

Doing the big stuff like wifi and power outlets in terminals are huge plus stuff on delta.com. But talking to one person in management when they needed a customer oriented thing done to significantly improve their experience and they put in their request and were told it'd be done... in a year. Lots of corporations are like that though, Bellsouth was when my wife needed stuff done when she worked on the web store. Our IT probably need manpower. I have a feeling making Icrew safari capable was something requested a long time ago.

But to your point, our IT doesn't suck, I agree. It's just that the stuff we interface which isn't a priority I bet. But we need stuff to make irops better and automate day to day scheduling.

Because they brought in the former NWA head of IT(can't remember her name) and have pumped a ton of money into it.

Oooooooh where's my popcorn? But dayam, she's only been in the job for maaaaaaaybe a year, so she is reeeeeeeeeeally good I guess. Glad she's saving us.

Do a little research on her. Extremely respected in the IT world. Don't know how long she has been on the job but I guarantee you she had RAs ear since before the merger was made public.

Scoop

Dont feel Bad Buzz,

Any time a team is north of 10-0 it becomes extremely hard not to get overconfident and blow it. All the media blowhards start talking about an undefeated season, some of the players probably start thinking they are a team of destiny etc.

The 24-7 news coverage with ESPN 1-99 must drive the Coaches crazy, but alas, such is the world we live in.
