In April the
DeltaNet has now been segregated so that retirees no longer have unfettered
access. If you log in to use TravelNet,
it will all still be available. But if
you login to use other areas of DeltaNet you will likely not be able to. Some of the helpful list f particular
interest to our group, that were available, will no longer be easily accessible
to non-active employees.
Latest Seniority List: Note about seniority lists (New List as of April 2018) Lists are no longer
accessable on the DeltaNet. The page is
password protected for our PCN group ONLY.

Mark, I did send a note to the webmaster as you

Airlines have an alcohol problem—and
some are blaming it on airports
One of the few remaining pleasures of commercial air travel is a cold pint post-security or a Bloody Mary to quell in-flight nerves. But for flight attendants and the airlines they work for, the grand tradition of drinking while traveling causes a host of problems that some are intent on cracking down on.
Leading the charge is European low cost carrier Ryanair. After an incident last weekend—when a flight from Dublin to Ibiza had to be diverted to Paris to de-plane three disruptive (and drunk) passengers—the airline announced that it will be lobbying for new restrictions on drinking in airports.
The proposed measures include a ban on serving alcohol before 10am (which is common in European airports) and a two drink maximum in airport bars. Similar measures have been called for by fellow low cost carrier Jet2, and this week Aer Lingus followed suit saying they would turn away visibly inebriated passengers at the gate.
In a statement, Ryanair said that “It’s completely unfair that airports can profit from the unlimited sale of alcohol to passengers and leave the airlines to deal with the safety consequences.” They added that, because their flights are so short, it is rarely the case that passengers become problematically drunk on the plane; rather, intoxication usually begins before boarding. The airline had already previously banned the consumption of duty-free liquor on their flights, a practice which is banned in many countries anyway, including the US.
But it’s not just a European problem. Wall Street Journal contributor Satish Jindel recently wrote about a May incident when an American Airlines flight attendant was on the receiving end of a vicious tirade after refusing to serve a passenger another beer. In an opinion piece calling for the banning of alcohol in the cabin, he noted that “When I’ve asked flight attendants, they’ve overwhelmingly supported a ban on in-flight alcohol.”
You don’t have to look far for proof of why that might be. The FBI revealed this week that reports of sexual assaults that take place during commercial flights have increased an “alarming” 66% between the years of 2014 and 2017. According to a CNN report, an FBI rep told reporters that a majority of offenses happen “on red-eye overnights, flights of three hours or more where cabin lights might be darkened, and/or instances where alcohol is being consumed.”
For frequent fliers who enjoy a drink, it may seem inconceivable that the future of flight might run dry. And indeed for airlines and airports—who gain a not-insignificant revenue stream from selling alcoholic beverages—removing the drinks may bear too high a cost. But it’s hard to ignore that the grand tradition of an in-flight tipple comes with a significant amount of baggage.
