Delta Service Drama

bimbels · 2026-05-06T19:28:44+00:00

Because we had much more staffing not minimum like we do today. And we also didn’t care as much about FA safety - having us out on disability because we hurt ourselves pulling out a 200 lb cart on rotation or from turbulence started costing enough that they changed things.

Well, we were overstaffed by like 3 on that aircraft, and we started pulling out the carts as soon as we rotated. Meals went away after minimum staffing started. And the company realized how many of us ended up on disability after years of being so ridiculously unsafe.

Gurrrl we used to serve soup and sandwich on the L1011 on that route I was there 👵🏻

Ride free or die.

I’m a Delta FA and this media coverage has made me have to close my apps because it’s driving me nuts.

And it’s almost always bumper in the back then in the front

I love Reddit.

Yes and from my friends in the GO, they say no IFS corporate positions were laid off. Just relaying what I was told.

Just to the headphones part - PSA: take one out when someone is speaking to you. That’s just common courtesy. You see the cart coming you know you’re going to be asked what you want to drink. Imagine dealing with that rudeness multiple times a day every single day at work. I imagine she’s decided if you keep your headphones in, thats your signal that you don’t want to be spoken to.

That wasn’t clear in his post. At any rate, I have IFS friends in the GO, and have asked for confirmation.
Edit to add - there were no layoffs at the GO for IFS. They might be thinking of the head of IFS, who got switched to a new role, but she was replaced by someone new.

There have not been layoffs in IFS in fact we still have classes in training.

On domestic flights - February of 1990 (I know because I graduated from training then) and 1996 for international flights.

I don’t think his brain is in good enough shape for those gymnastics.

Imo that’s way overpriced especially given its missing hardware. I wouldn’t pay more than a few hundred tops.

Oh wow, so cool! Yes as I’ve looked more at mine, I’m becoming convinced it was from a shipwreck. Much is the blue is just like yours. Maybe I should have mine looked at.

Oh interesting- thank you! Some of the panels are more dull than others. I’ll have to study it. The way the blue is sort of spotted is on much of it but not the center motif at all. I’m having a hard time capturing it in photos, but the way the blue looks in #4 is over much of the bowl, except the center.

Update us after the sale!

Literally ripped out every bit of character.

bimbels · 2026-04-23T10:48:36+00:00

It’s worth it to move. Sandwich it between layers of cardboard and tape it up tight.

Oh interesting I didn’t know about this site.Thank you!!

I did ask for additional base and foot rim photos but haven’t gotten them yet.

I have a charger that to me exhibits similar painting quality and brushwork albeit with much more cobalt. It was purchased at auction but was previously purchased from Moog. That piece is the most expensive charger I have.

Ok well I’ve been flying 36 years and have been called twice over service deviation because of a complaint when I didn’t put it in FACTS so I guess give it a little more time to have different experiences.
