Good night all, see everyone in the AM or what ever time it might be. =
I guess we could all leave wearing enough Delta branded attire that we create a huge ripple of "Shenanigans!" posts here on FT as we U/G into F on our respective flights home ?

"I KNOW he was NRSA, he wore a Delta polo shirt ! AND a hat ! Shenanigans!"

One actually has nothing to do with the other, as the two fees are mutually exclusive.

The Road Warrior Training fee is simply for that — the Road Warrior Training. Delta Air Lines sets that fee.

The registration fee is to cover the cost of items such as badges, printed materials, the www.atldo.com Internet web site, etc. which still need to be used for participants of the event, even if they only attend Road Warrior Training.

Obviously, before I make any more comments on the total cost of this travel, I am going to have to Tru-Price it.

Or I take it there will be no giant checks for us to take home from said DO?



^ Looking pretty awesome there with that huge check mersk862.

What is in the DL Museum Store? Would've liked to go there if I had the free time when in ATL.

Not sure if anybody referenced this in the thread yet, but I'm considering heading down to ATL for an overnight to check it out.

For a $5 entry fee it is a heck of a deal but once I factor in the $89 for the hotel and the $3,837.69 r/t Biz Elite ticket it becomes a bit pricey.

Anything from retired silverware from Delta Air Lines flights to scale Delta Air Lines airplane models, but if you have a request, we could submit it and perhaps they can stock it.

Firephoenix. (In fact, I will happily take two or three.)

I believe the normal fee for RWT is $300 for half a day. They are both discounting it & extending it for us, plus we might be the only beneficiaries ever of RWT II.

I am waiting for the RWT III course, which Delta will be offering in cooperation with the U.S. Army Chaplain School at Fort Jackson.

In this course, you are taught what to do in case the plane has to ditch over the North Alantic any time between Oct 1 and March 21.

Basically, you learn how to give Last Rites and/or offer Memorial prayers in several major religions in the 23.8 seconds before you freeze to death.

Delta Users Conference

What we are doing is developing the Delta Users Conference.

I could be wrong about this: I think it's $300 for RWT as a group rate and $400 for individuals.

Written from the Park, Sleep, and Fly hotel - outbound on DL Reward Tix to go camping in a National Forest in Washington.
