That is something that I plan on bringing up in the focus group sessions on the Thursday at the DO. Delta owns a lot of the E-175s/CRJ-700/900 and leases them out to the regional airlines that operate them (I know this is the case with all 36 E-175s flown by Compass). Since Delta has made a push to harmonize mainline/DLC, I'd love for GoGo to at least go on these planes, especially since they're doing some hops in key business markets, such as the NYC-Chicago runs now.

Generally not, though I've used it a bit more lately. Before the takeaway though, I rarely used it.

It is funny how each hub does things differently. I was in MEM and the ticket agent was more than happy to give me a gate pass to go to the club. She said it is a part of the members rights. Gotta love the policy working fleet wide!!

You mean we have rights? Did Delta get the memo on that yet?

She probably still thinks she's working for NWA.

Interesting view from a window seat - from FL 33 I was able to identify distance from ATL by discerning my town as well as BNA.

Didn't you forfeit your rights by deciding to have no involvement with DL?

Heck, no. Our rights are inalienable. I'll be a thorn in DL's side for years to come. Plus we have two trips on the Wing of Satan this summer.

ASA? Comair? Who are those guys?

(said by someone who's done a very good job of avoiding them this year; think I had one flight on ASA this year out of Gainesville, but that was it).

Two jerked just came running up to a just closed flight with drinks in hand. Hoping they throw a tantrum.

What the heck is this...

I entered a guess, but it hasn't posted yet. Someone from FT needs to figure it out. I guess it was a vintage chewing gum dispenser. But who the heck knows?!?
