If you read the whole article, multiple carriers got fined for various reasons.

"Among other recent DOT fines:

A $375,000 fine against Delta in June for bumping violations.
A $130,000 fine against United for a tarmac delay violation.
A $200,000 fine against American affiliate American Eagle for tarmac delay violations."


And here's a thread creep:
Notice no USAirways, the Head of the DOT (Foxx) is the former mayor of Charlotte (USAirways largest hub and the one of the city's largest employers). I'd almost guarantee they are protected during his tenure. And as for the rest of us, Good Luck! Look at the mess the Charlotte airport is in between the city and the state. He had his hand in that mess before going to the DOT. He must have realized that the most powerful man in the city was Mr. Orr, the Airport director, and now that he's the head of the DOT their are rumors the city could lose the authorization to run the airport because of the turmoil his politics has added. That's how he runs things!

I saw the various fines against other companies. I was referring how most businesses will advertise a product at a certain price, meanwhile the asterisk points to the fine print indicating that the price only applies to one particular out of stock item.

You know, I was waiting for your input on this, General; I just didn't feel complete until I got it. Thanks!

By the way, I thought that the "fat" (to be politically correct, I think you mean "height-challenged") SWA Capt said "SWA would NEVER do that...." about charging for bags, which wasn't the issue here. That, of course, begs the question, what exactly were you referring to that SWA would never do (in your post above)?

Did you mean SWA would never make a pricing mistake, or screw up a sale?

Did you mean SWA would never get caught for such a mistake?

Or did you mean that SWA would never use an avatar picture (and a random narcissistic quote) of the biggest raging d0uchebag on television, as a symbol of its identity online. You know, just to indicate one's integrity and moral virtue.

Thanks in advance for clearing up this mystery for us!

The General has no bounds when it comes to his hatred of all things Southwest. Just another day on FI.

Both you and Red are soooo sensitive. I thought that commercial and the corpulent Capt were instant classics. You know, most commercial try to show "fit" employees (look at recent DL and now recent SWA commercials), and that "People's Court" commercial wasn't flattering at all. As I stated, SWA recently got the message from the rest and made them more aesthetically pleasing to the viewing consumer.

I know why they used that phrase in that commercial, and I doubt that will hold. They still do it at AT, which is owned by SWA. We'll see, but I use that phrase for a reason, and I will continue. Have a great one!

Most can not be as fit as you

As you have described your self. 6 foot 4. 215lbs. And very senior in ATL on the 767, and always getting green slips


And a wife that make boko bucks.

Very impressive , expect no one has ever heard of you .

On an anonymous board? I bet you're right. On the line? Oh yeah. But, I haven't flown with everyone. The 757/767 fleet has thousands of pilots, and people move onto other fleets all the time, which is something that you obviously don't understand, since SWA only has one fleet and all. (Thanks for the 717s btw, DL's first is being painted in MIA right now, and your company is paying for it).

I'm glad you know everyone's "story" at your company, you nosy jackhole.


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[General Lee]

Green slips?

Double pay on your days off to fly trips. The ATL MD88 B (FO) yesterday had 27 I believe. Very short staffed on that plane because they started taking a lot of their pilots to start training on the 717, and didn't backfill with newhires. Instead, they are paying a lot of greenslips.

Because he's an internet troll living in his mother's basement. He doesn't now nor has he ever been employed by Delta. He gets what incorrect information he has from his male flight attendant "friend," he's blowing for "buddy passes." By his own admission, this is an anonymous board, and he can pretend to be anyone he wants to be. Nobody's heard of him because he isn't a pilot. It's been proven. Just ignore this colossal d0uche bag!
I don't know one self respecting DL pilot "supposedly" who flies to Europe and spends 1/8 the time on this joke of a forum that this kid does. If that doesn't convince you this dickhead isn't a pilot, then go on believing this keyboard warrior. Your choice. He's a fraud, and it's been proven he's wrong! 18,000 posts? YGTBFSM!
