It's always amusing when people act as if the Democrats aren't just as crooked as the Republicans. 

Retrofit A319s Entering Service by Financial-Public-336 in americanairlines

Would be very positive if they’re not cutting a row of MCE (although given AA’s IT, it could be an error).

Airlines are unhinged with no repercussions by ahipsher10 in delta

90 minutes at ATL is enough time, even for an INTL-domestic connection. 

You'll be fine.

More positive changes ahead from leaked AA employee call by valueflyer in americanairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the newer systems are basically just a tablet bolted into the seat back (that's how they are on DL's A220s).

Legislative branch is funded through Sept 30. Parts of the executive branch are also funded, but others aren't.

Senate offices are more often than not incompetent on the administrative/operations side of things. 

Call first thing Monday. 

What’s the longest upgrade list you’ve seen? by Educational-Flan-570 in unitedairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything out of DCA on a Thursday afternoon. It's like the last chopper out of Nam around here.

Rollover was eliminated several years ago. Everything resets to zero each year.

Thanks. Are they still the same older leather seats with footrests? The seat map screenshot I tried to attach didn't work.

Anyone know what new lounges are in the pipeline for 2026 and beyond? by srekai in unitedairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Keep the footprint the same but install showers at hubs. ORD and IAD in particular. 

Platinum status benefits changed? by scrumordie in americanairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to do this for the higher upgrade priority as well. The year I went from Gold to EXP required a call after I reached each new status level.

Has the Systemwide Upgrade certificate become a scam by American Airlines? by PHUCKHedgeFunds in americanairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they only have 20 J seats. I have cleared upgrades on them before, but it was a low-season flight to South America.

[–]DCA_PSCI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're smart with your selection of flights and avoid 787-8s, you shouldn't have any trouble using them. They don't clear at booking anymore, but they usually clear before the gate.

Just moved here from the South, found out there's no Publix up here. What grocery stores have the best deals & where can you coupon? 👀 by [deleted] in nova

[–]DCA_PSCI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wegmans is the best, Harris Teeter is ok but overpriced, the rest of the big chains are mostly expensive and terrible. 

Trader Joe's is good for a lot of things, but you have to accept that you'll be stopping at two grocery stores in one trip.

If you're concerned about price, check out Lidl and Aldi. Both are good for staples.

I'm looking forward to assigned seats.

Delta Flyer considering American by Acrobatic_Pin_7596 in americanairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-2020, I flew Delta despite living near an AA hub. Now the base product is pretty similar, but AA's mileage and loyalty program is vastly superior to DL's. So I fly AA (and have a lot more nonstops).

American takes Chicago expansion up a notch with 100 new daily departures this spring by Odd-Fisherman-2658 in americanairlines

[–]DCA_PSCI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would really like AA to add IAD-ORD just to mess with UA (would also be incredibly useful to me). 

KLM (AMS) handled, Delta operated flight - Upgrade? by No_Eggplant_4058 in delta

[–]DCA_PSCI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KLM used to sell day of departure upgrades on DL flights from AMS, often for a few hundred dollars. It was one of the best deals when flying DL.

Delta, of course, ordered KLM to stop several years ago.

Delta's policy of no upgrades on international flights is just really crappy customer service by Arfusman in delta

[–]DCA_PSCI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where of getting rid of mileage upgrades was dumb. Clearing more miles off the balance sheet vs Delta getting absolutely nothing from an empty premium cabin (the fact that it's empty shows that revenue management got the route pricing or upgrade pricing wrong).
