I agree, but for slightly different reasons - DCI flights arent just code shares on another airline - they are subcontracted Delta flights. In other words, Delta pays these airlines to fly these flights, tells them when to fly these flight, handles all reservations, and owns all of the seats. We, as Delta employees should therefore n bhave rights to seats these flights as if they were mainline. We should have priority over their employees on these flights and we should be able to book PS on these flights.
I'm not quite sure why Delta doesn't have this policy. I mean, what's a Skywest, or a Mesaba, or a Republic going to say - If you don't give our employees priority on DCI flights, were not going to fly for you? Yeah right.
