TIMATIC AT DELTA!

Too bad US agents can't access DL's webpage from work! Easier to look up and look at than Timatic in QIK.

 

[InternationalShannon]

You better check timatic like InternationalShannon says both of your examples timatic says?????????????

He is saying check the return, which is also in timatic. And also, if a shift manager is covering their butt or whatever you said in your last post, they would be checking timatic and not sending the pax if there was doubt.

Thanks, WCT
It really isn't that hard if you know what you're doing, it's when you don't and the passengers start hassling you is when it's horrifying. It's like they smell fear. And they POUNCE!!

At that point they can either follow your rules or not fly. Clear-cut, no negotiations. They may throw a hissy at the gate but I've never recieved an ugly letter.

I had to read that three times and I'm still not sure what you were getting at..you spent six figures getting deported because you had incorrect docs ? or, because someone had a bad attitude?
I'm not being snarky, but if you got on a plane to Germany thinking you were going to London, I have to point out that the boarding pass or announcements might throw a red flag up.... :huh:

US ships London cargo to Germany just to clear the PHL dock. Mind-boggling and expensive but makes the PHL people happy.

Unlike the self-appointed fffocus whiners I simply walked away from US.

Too bad for you.

My heart is truly bleeding, and now someone needs to clean this mess up.
In other news, the original post was about passengers, not cargo.

Same green revenue whether the pax or the boxes are giving it to you.

Your original post was bemoaning US staffers simply shipping the problem out of their station.

Same thing.

Well, not really since you don't have to check Timatic to ship a box, cargo is a completely different can of worms...

I feel like I've kind of gotten to know you a little better through your postings, and I'd like to help, if I may, in your frustration that you aren't recieving return calls. Pick up the phone, cuz yelling really loud isn't effective.

WRONG

 

[john john]

you need to have the leave papers or the orders to the overseas station in addition to their military id

Leave papers are not orders

Okay, you win. All revenue is not the same I suppose.

Lady, I don't care about a return call. That ship has long sailed. Even if US offered their product for a nickel I would not bite. Ever wonder many more of your former customers are out here that you just don't hear from anymore??? Absolutely your paycheck is affected.

Not all of us are fffocusers who will just keep coming back because their company is paying the fare.

Really? If I beg really , really super nicely do you think that I could get that extra nickel per hour to argue with you in person? That would be fun. How about next Friday? That work for you? See you there!!

PS, if you don't want to come, that's okay, I'll be honest about it and in 2011, or whenever our contract is up for negotiation, I'll make sure and remind them that your six figures aren't here anymore and hopefully they remember to take it out of my paycheck then. For now, you really don't do anything to my paycheck except make me wonder if it's worth it or not.
