DL hasn't had a FedEx discount since around 2005. Seems there was some kind of "My shwantz is bigger than yours" competition between some managers of both companies and as usual, the employees get left holding the bag.

I see you stopped reading after my first sentence. I went on to chronicle the many ways in which they blow. When I was using the discount it was $5 and change to "overnight" something but it usually took a few days to arrive.

What kind of discount do we (DL) get with Verizon? I tried to get it and the Verizon person said there was no discount with Delta. I couldn't find anything on Deltanet, either.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I recently bought a new Dell laptop. I used the DAL website to find out what I wanted and how much it was going to cost me. I ran into a snag when it came to finalizing my order. The Dell salesmen was able to beat the price of the DAL discount. In fact, he even admitted that there were better deals available. So I would always check with the vendor to see if you are getting the lowest prrice.

FDX & Delta discounts
Guys,
IIRC, in the pre 911 days, FedEx used DL as much as possible for DH crews to operate revenue trips, and DL employees were given discount shipping privileges as quid pro quo.
Dl cancelled the discounted business tickets for dh business crews, and raised the prices to the equivaent of full fare. The FDX shot across the bow was to cancel interline shipping discounts for DL. Lose, lose.
Maybe it's time for both sides to re-think......FDX dh's a tremendous number of crews, and DL/NW folks do a lot of Xmas shipping.
Scoop and ACL, you guys seem to know a birdie on the 4th floor, why not run this by them?
Regards,
FD
