I had to stare at a goat for about 33 hours years ago when I shared a seat with it on a bus from darjeeling to khatmandu. I kid you not (ha! ha! ha! no pun intended!!)

* That's really a hard choice in what's apparently a tough life today.

No contest - tim tams.

What a freakin waste, unless they are doing the bug sprays there instead of the EU.

I think they may have made a mistake with the 77Ls and are not going to get their anticipated bang for their buck.

Are you forgetting that NRT is a DL hub? :)

Honestly, DL needs to leave JFK. Their JFK operation is by far the worst part of their entire network and they can't seem to address that issue.

Not inaccurate but not the whole story either Professor. For those of us DL-North Legacy PMs using our at the time WP Nos. on NW metal we were accruing 2x EQMs on the deep discount coach fares (KTL). We just did not make too big a deal about it.;)

Mine appeared to be correct, but the description for the RDM has changed. What was the problem you were having?

Mine didn't seem to increase after the 15k deposit. I know a number of people who should have jumped a tier didn't as there have been a few reports about that.

I was referring specifically to legacy SkyTeam USA - some of us had a much higher status on one side of the combined airline and had to make a decision given that constraint.

Quite the opposite it appears. DL seems to want to build up the JFK operation as much as possible. Having just transited it last week as I noted, it was soooooooooooo a big bag of :rolleyes:. The DL-South Folks complain a blue streak about legacy NW operations, but those JFK folks made even the most honorary NW folks seem down right pleasant.:rolleyes:
