"Changes coming next Spring"
 

Speaking to a regular FA I see and she mentioned some changes are coming next Spring "for a better first class experience"

She wouldn't say too much and I didn't dig but I did state my desire for unlimited UG's to be K+ only and she smiled.

MQD and potential K+ only UG's. Times are a changing, for the better IMHO.

Oh, jeez. You ascertained this all from a "smile". The vast majority of FA's probably don't even know what a 'K' fare is (let alone would they be provided knowledge about future changes in the domestic upgrade program). Sorry, but I'll take your speculation with a large grain of salt.

Well, of course she couldn't say anything! How could you possibly expect a regular FA to know something about the fancy, special, top secret cabin on the other side of the curtain?

What-da-heck is a "REGULAR" flight attendant?

Completely agree. The average FA has no clue what is going on in this area. They would be one of the last to know. And, I guess why would they need to know. It has nothing to do with their area of the company.

Amen.

Delta once offered upgrades only on K+ and it worked for them for a long time but it would put them at a major competitive disadvantage today and that is the only reason that it changed from before.

One FA told me Richard was retiring and they were bringing in mersk862 to run the company.

Maybe they're actually getting some actual decent fri**'in BEER again.

Blue Moon? I can actually drink that stuff - - it is like being in a kind of beer holding pattern before an actual beer landing.

Heineken? Don't get me started.

Hmmmmm . . . . . And how would that work out for the average FlyerTalker???

:)

Nothing lasts forever.

Not this .... again...

Probably a short boost

As a Diamond why would you care? No lower medallion on anything less than a K fare will ever be above you on an UG list, and if you want to buy K fares to feel better about your upgrade, you can. Am I missing something?

So, I guess we're talkin' somewhere in between . . . .

Mersk passing out a few free Woodford drink coupons, and . . . .

SWUs being good on V fares???

:D

Well, hypothetically, if a DM purchases a nearly last minute ticket, and other DMs, PMs & GMs have already been UG'd on <K fares, those seats wouldn't be available for the last minute DM purchase.

I have a good friend who is a long term (30+ years) FA on NW/DL and I'd be surprised if she knew what kind of airplane she was on
