Yes, I flew with the #1 last year...and not only does she commute from Colorado, she actually has to drive a few hours to DIA first. Also, she has a 'crash pad' in ATL - something very wrong with a 70+ year old having a 'crash pad'...
There are at least 3-4 ex-Pan Am FAs based out of NYC who live in the NCE area and they commute to JFK only to work the JFK-NCE flight back. In the winter it works out well for them since NCE is not daily and they get a nice long layover at home...There are also a few who commute to NYC from their homes in Hawaii....

You know, I dont know that for sure. Ill have to ask! Youre right, that would certainly wreak havoc on the crew scheduling if people did that...

thank you!
speaking of, would anyone consider starting a thread about delta's newly launched mobile booking tool? I don't really get much pull in the community given that I've had three-posts-ever + was hoping a discussion might get more traction coming from one of you...

Quick Catch Up post!
Hi flygrl_dl! Thanks for posting! So how was the experience? Did you end up sitting in a hot plane for two days like poor O2 dad?
If so your hair held up pretty well!
What about changing clothes? Or was that just poor DeltaCustomerInsights (Frank)?
DeltaCustomerInsights - Saw your Delta Blog post about what people do in-flight, very interesting.... One little thing, if you label the values next to each bar on a bar graph, there is no need to have an x-axis showing the length of 100% (I read A LOT of technical papers so representing data is an issue I deal with everyday)
DeltaFreak - Thanks for the update on the music, I'm looking forward to having is background music to drown out the noises in my office...
For anyone associated with this video I'm curious what the reaction from the F/A's has been... Did y'all get input from them? I ask because I just got back from a trip and mentioned the new Safety video to the F/A's on one of my flight and they didn't seem to know much, one did mention reading/hearing about a search for F/A's to be in a new video. There were all eager to see the video which I have on my phone (yeah I'm a geek!).
None of them seemed to have too strong of an opinion, but that could also have been them not wanting to talk about corporate related stuff with a random pax.
One F/A, did mention that it seemed REALLY long...when I tolder her it was about four and a half minutes she wondered if that would be enough time to play it before take off. She said that one thing about the current video is that it is SHORTER than the pervious video they use to have.
That made me wonder...of course at ATL you taxi FOREVER before taking off, but at other airports the taxi time is much less... Is there a requirement that the safety video be done playing BEFORE the plane takes off?

I can't believe you have the safety video on your phone!

I'll send you a PM with some random data representation comments/suggestions which you can feel free to ignore...
You never did answer my post regarding the fact that you said that airbags are required on the new 777 in BE since it has the herringbone seat config...
Regarding the safety video on my phone? OH BELIEVE IT! Seriously why WOULDN'T you want that video at the ready to show people? One of the F/A's did ask me jokingly if I was some secret Delta Q/A type employee...
I *WISH* I had that job....
Alas I'm starting to fear that if the merger goes south that I will be effectively cut off from Delta as y'all no longer code share with NW on the ELM->DTW morning flights....

See, now you have mistaken identity. I believe that was Delta Freak who posted that.
