[bigshooter107]

I agree,dog!

Anderson is such a complete toolbag! Every time I see his pic, this video classic immediately comes to mind:

-Slick Hair? 2009? Really?

-Almost as fashionable as Steenland's damn-fool goatee..

I forgot just how creepy that was.

Just as a side note, we do this everyday at Delta. It can actually help sometimes. You can be running a few minutes late and the flight attendants are already there boarding.

Uh huh.....25-minute turns in Atlanta, too. I know, I know....delta is great......

Yep-RA is a horrible person-on all levels. The guys over at DAL need to wake up and recognize what they are dealing with before he hands it to them in a brutal way!

-His creepy looks are just the tip of the iceburg...

As for the room on D-conc for WC and UMs, this is only a transfer room and not a "holding pin". They are only there long enough to confirm a gate and have someone take them out. If a child has a lengthy L/O then they are taken to Dusty's Den. This job has nothing to do with AA as I have been there and done that years ago. It is a low paying thank-less job that many people simply don't want yet these people do and they have gotten better.

That is one interpretation of the situation. I would disagree. Dusty's Den or not, I regularly see children and elderly passengers sit in the bowel of D-conc waiting for someone, anyone, to take them where they need to go.

Money might have been spent to address this issue, and there might be a block on someone's evaluation claiming to have made this a better experience for passengers, but the reality is that it is still an embarassment.

this guy must drive the 700 and never go near D. I go through there regularly and I agree with you. There are almost always several WC's or UM's (or both) warehoused in there. I've gotten off the plane, said hi to PAX sitting in that dungeon as I went by to have lunch somewhere (usually on E) and then cringed as I said hi to them again as I walk past them AGAIN on my way back to get my bags AFTER eating. Its a disaster. I can't believe ANYONE would send there kids UM through ATL. If they only knew....

I guess you just have to look at that place thru the "glass half full" prizm....

-At least no one got stabbed there! (Lately....)

As I stated earlier, the situation is not perfect and the system doesn't always work as intended. If that was the case then a flight would never be cxl'd and we would have 100% D-0 and A-0.

This room is not intended to be a holding pin. Are wait times there, at times, lengthy? Sure. Have you had to wait for a gate in ATL when you are on-time on a clear blue day? Sure. These are the exception and not the norm. I am a CR2 driver and go through this room several times a day and normally it is not full of pax sitting around. DL is not going to spend allot of money on this area due to the areas intent, a pass through pt only.

So back to the issue, why isn't anyone (upper mgmt) addressing this and telling us why we are about to have the worst performance ever during the summer in atl....... Cannot believe this
