On LAS-LAX-CDG-PRG today. Very friendly TA, TSA and Centurion Lounge staff. Next up - GA and LAX TSA and GA.

Sucks to clear security a second time in LA with no pre-check at TB but that's life.

Not to rain on the parade here but cops, firefighters, nurses, doctors, and many others work Thanksgiving EVERY year. They never get thanked......

Cops, firefighters, nurses, doctors, etc. are the only ones I see getting thanked for their service on social media...

DL "gives" 10 holidays to the non-union frontline employees.

6 of them are either you get double time (IIRC) for the day or you get to use it on another day. 4 of them are time and a half (IIRC) or use it on another day (maybe, I can't remember for sure if you can float it or you just get time and half)

I don't know how it works for the union (pilots/dispatchers) or merit employees.
Also ready reserve get a big fat nothing.

Not true. That was changed earlier this year.
