Vacation doesn't work that way. There is no use it or lose it. Vacation is set in stone before the month starts. A pilot can't fly over vacation. Perhaps they are referring to payback days, but even then, there has to be a threshold of minimum staffing levels to use them. In summary, I don't think ...
Jump to postNew uniforms unfortunately wont do anything so long as appearance standards are so low. Too many employees just look so sloppy, and not sharp and crisp as intended.

Nice to see the return of PDX-PHL but that eastbound schedule is absolutely useless for business travel. And ATW? I cannot believe this airport has no N/S service to BNA and MIA but I guess it's nice that folks can travel to Appleton. That one surprised me too, but ATW has a pretty big catchment ar...

Jump to post.

All it takes is one mistake, one distraction and you're not going home, working on the ramp can ...

For a company that prided itself on good labor relations, things sure have turned in other directions in recent years. (Look at all the lost arbitrations over things scope/JV flying for example). DL is like any other publicly traded company. They just used to do a better job of keeping up appearanc...

Jump to postStill puzzled on what DL is doing. Right now here at CID we are down to 1 320 to ATL and 2x CRJ to MSP and DTW each. Next month down to 1x CRJ to DTW. At least upgrade the CRJ to a CR9/E75/717 to make up some capacity difference to MSP/DTW. Meanwhile a similar market like FSD has 1 319/1E75/2 CR9 a...

Personal opinion - good step forward, it's time.
I was on a red eye last night. There was scattered applause and some cheering when the F/A mentioned that masks were now optional during the pre-departure announcements. I'd say it was 50/50 wearing them vs. not (based solely on my people watching during boarding).

Considering SLC has lost all of their nonstops to the Midwest (that had around 95% load factors and sold out FC cabins), I would hope/expect to see IND, CMH, CLE, and PIT come back first.
Shortest mainline: MKE-MSN, A320- 75(ish) miles.
Longest regional: MSN-DCA, CRJ900- 707 miles

Jump to postIs this employee easily identifiable as a working crew member?
Can they execute the required duties of a flight attendant proficiently?
Can they deliver the level of service B6 asks of its employees?
If it's "yes" to all 3 of those, the rest doesn't matter.
I'll be curious to see how MIA-MSN does. People in WI treat going to Florida as a sacred duty.
With this add, MSN will have nonstop flights to MCO, MIA, RSW, and TPA. Not bad.
