Employee Discounts
I am starting this thread because I am too lazy to call my friends in ATL. Anyone know what corporate discounts DAL employees get?
Examples I am looking for:
NWA 25% discount off of Sprint plans, 17% off on Verizon.
75% discount on FedEx Next Day and 2nd Day Air
Variable discount from Panasonic Electronics.
EPP/VPP prices on various domestic/foreign new auto purchases
What got me curious is a FedEx/Kinkos clerk in HNL told me that DAL and SWA both lost their FedEx discounts due to "incidents" in their storefronts and also regarding travel involving FedEx senior management. Since its only a single source I figured I would ask here, although I am interested in the Cell phone discounts and Panasonic since I am in the market for a new cell service and a new plasma TV.

Delta's discount with AT&T isn't very good: 10% on service, and 20% on phones. I was recently told that there is a Boeing discount available to anyone who operates Boeing equipment (I wonder how AT&T would figure that out). That discount is 25% on service and 50% on equipment. I don't have a FAN number for either discount.
We also get the X plan on Ford products and the Preferred Supplier Discount on GM products. (Not that you can't get a great deal on one of those cars anyway).

I was using it heavily a couple years ago and the on-time success rate I experienced was less than 60%. No Joke. Not to mention every time I was in the depot there were large (insert joke here) customers complaining about damage and tardiness.
I hope we get the FedEx discount back. I understand Delta was po'd about some upper level FedEx types abusing the system. Although, to be fair, I personally witnessed a Delta employee shipping 20 computers at the ATL FedEx station in 2000. Obviously using the discount for his home business. We'll see.
