I have an RUC waitlisted for the return, but expect I will have to cave and burn a GUC for that. Not the world's best use of GUCs, but I am kind of an accidental Diamond in any case.
As you note, I will find out tomorrow.
ATL-LAX is on the 763 which I rather like as those seats are more comfortable to me than the seats in the 764 and A350 suites. Too bad they don't have PS, which is basically just as good as most domestic first class.

I was looking at the 9E (Endeavor) web site and noticed that they're emphasizing their compensation packages. Since they're a 100% subsidiary of Delta, these comp levels are obviously with corporate's approval and input.
The top end for an Aircraft Maintenance Technician is now over $80K except for LGA/JFK where it's just under $100K. A person graduating from NYC's Aviation Trades public high school can graduate with their A&P license, start at Endeavor at $60K+ and in 5 years be making over $100K. Not bad for a HS grad.
They're now competing with the lower end ULCC and LCC carriers for mechanics and other staff.

The following is information based on conversations I've had with a number or Endeavor employees who i know and isn't based on access to any Endeavor manuals or policy documents.
Yes, for Pilots.
I believe that many of Endeavors senior management have come from Delta management and in many cases returned to Delta after gaining new experience and proving themselves.
I also believe that Endeavor employees are welcome to apply for posted jobs at Delta. If hired, they do not carry seniority over.

Hope everyone had a great SATurday. Babyp visited his first winery and first palace, so it was a successful day. We also met some friends for sushi and to hand off the wine wed picked up for them.
Today is the last full day with the in-laws in town. Im leaning towards taking them to one of the local lakes this afternoon. We have about 6 weeks to recover before my parents come to visit.

Do you have a fancy little bag you could use instead of trying to wrap it?

Happy SunDAY. Nice day in DAY. Yesterdays schedule change Saturday saw some minor tweaks to a couple of booked itineraries but thankfully nothing that screwed up connections. It took a while for what displayed on DL.com to match what displayed on under My Trips in the App. The itineraries in the App updated first and it took DL.com a couple hours to catch up.
No equipment change on the MSP-HNL or HNL-ATL leg. Hoping the 767-300 is switched to something with a better seat but I get this is truly a first world complaint.
Biggest change was an ATL-CMH leg going from a 737-800 to a 737-900. I had 3C/D on the 738 and was rebooked into 4C/D on the 739 but I moved us to 5C/D which are the best seats on another very meh aircraft.
My parental unit is in town this weekend. We did Air Force PT yesterday and plan to get in another round of Air Force PT today.

sounds like my kitchen catastrophe a couple months back
getting ready to make a frittata for brunch, put half a dozen eggs in a shaker with some seasonings and a splash of milk ... went to put the top on before shaking, but was ever so slightly out of alignment ... four yolks and at least half of the whites all over the floor and a couple cabinet doors
