Who are you using for per diem and travel summary reports and what's your experience?
I've been using Flightline (Sabre) but they are getting slow and I can't even get them on the phone to check on my report?
Over the next 14 years Delta will retire 7500 pilots -thats 65% of our current pilot staffing. Be careful though, in this industry you can always live for tomorrow. If I were you I would probably stay put. SWA is still a good place to be.

3) Don't remember much of a "commuter clause". Supposed to leave yourself two backups and some...
