Thread: Seattle, Boeing...Tips

I keep expecting Pink Floyd or the crew of the Fantastic Voyage to add to my experience in the DTW tunnel. It's almost worth flying thru just to take it all in. Makes you feel like you're in an old Beatles vid? At least there was no one saying "soylent green is people"....

Hey Jumper, the fly together number, is that SEA, or is it in all the res centers? Do you get fly together duty one day, or is it just spliced in with all the other calls? I talked to a really nice agent yesterday when I was listing my mother.[/b]

It&#39;s mixed in with all the other calls - I often shudder when I get "Norwest Employee Fly together" as unlike regular non reving, it&#39;s a REAL pain in the butt to get it right (Even WITH the cheat sheet!) as I have to set up an open ticket - funny enough, if you&#39;re a Delta Employee, I can just run you through the regular Non Rev flow, just like a regular NWA employee.

*NOTE TO FELLOW NW EMPLOYEES FLYING ON DELTA*

Do *NOT* call me an hour before your flight to get your pass - you need to get a paper ticket from the NW counter THEN list on Delta - Unlike for Delta employees where it&#39;s a paperless pass and I can do it all in one easy call, for us to fly on Delta it&#39;s a little more involved right now! Plan accordingly!!

Actually, we need paper tix to ride on NW. I guess it doesn&#39;t get put into your PNR maybe, but we cannot get on a NW plane without a flight coupon. It just so happens to be $0.00, but we still need the coupon. I think it&#39;s kind of a waste of paper, when going to SEA, I got 5 or 6 flight coupons to cover plans B and C, I ended up using 2.

It is really nice to have pretty much double the flights available to hop on.

Oh! See, with Delta folks I only get the &#39;other side&#39; of it - listing a Delta employee for me is just like listing a regular NW employee - a few simple clicks through the flow and boom, I can drop you a PNR like *that*. Soon enough I hope it&#39;ll be easier for all of us

With the PM function down, I figured I&#39;d revive this year old thread.

Jumper, I was considering another attempt to tour Boeing. Might you be available Mon 5/11 or Tues 5/12?

Thanks

You must! We went up there when we lived in the area about 10 years ago. The Everett tour is quick but it was neat to see the 777s being built. There was a Cathay Pacific 777 in the hangar while we were there. You had to get a ticket early and then come back for your show time. Don&#39;t know if it is still the same.
Back in Seattle, go to Copacabana for lunch. It is a Bolivian Restaurant in the Pike Place market area.

My RDO&#39;s are W/Th, but I MIGHT be able to get a late in - to be honest, Thursday would have been a lot better but send me an e-mail - it should be in my profile or alternately you can use the &#39;other&#39; one JMPRPaws AT Hot---- dot com (mail instead of dashes - damn spambots)
