I'll bet all of the open F/C seats get filled up with frequent flyer upgrades, so it may not be an issues. You could show your ID to the agent, explain why you are traveling, and ask if there's any chance any one of those seats might be open. Be sure you talk to the Purser too, if you get the stiff arm from the agent. She might be able to move you after the door is closed.

I guess the Purser was a P.I.T.A? That's a very long time to be stuck in coach!

Aside from the rates virtually everything posted here was wrong or a huge exaggeration about the contract. The only error DALPA made in their projections about the contract was underestimating how well it would turn out.
The contract also broke the logjam for pilot contracts and finally got the ball rolling at AMR and UAL. Had it not passed I think it might be very possible that no contracts would be done and we would just now be getting before the NMB. I like the choice I made in changing my vote and think it has positioned us far better then even I hoped for this contract.

Sounds more like a very weak CA. Pursers get fired from the program if caught doing things like that. I always tell them to please move the passenger up and that I will take full responsibility for it and tell the company I ordered the purser to do it if someone writes it up.

We are so far removed from the boarding door, and the entire process, unless one of our own can get to me before I board the aircraft, an hour prior to push, I never hear about it until we are in the bus on the way to the hotel.
I did have a friend going from Joburg to ATL, a DL 767 Capt. who had been my tweet IP in 1983, who had bought 4 tickets for himself, his wife and two daughters. They did a 3 week tour of South Africa and were on their way home.
I did talk to the agent about moving him up but business class was already full. So I introduced his family to our F/A's and made sure they were well taken care of...as well as can be, given he was in the back of a packed sardine can for 17 hours!

I think I got on her bad side by poking my head in the cockpit to say hi. One of the FO's showed me the crew rest, and she came around the corner when I came back out, and she freaked out on me. I showed her my badge, and explained, but she was done with me at that point. I can laugh about it now......

AE bid question:
I was awarded new equipment in the last (365) AE with projected conversion in the month of November. Can anyone confirm that there is no reason I cannot be awarded a different domicile (same new equipment) and a resulting EARLIER training/conversion in this latest AE (since this one must have its conversions complete by 1 Nov)?

As for their flights, everyone gets priority on their own metal. They are Delta flights is the sense that Delta has "purchased" all the seats on the airplane for it's passengers and allowed them to use a Delta flight number for marketing. As far as everything else is concerned, they are completely separate companies
