And you think you have the right to be placed above someone who spent probably over 25 yrs at Delta and retired ................
You dont work for Delta! The company you fly for contracts out with Delta to fly DELTA"S passengers, period!
In fact, my parents should be in front of all other non Delta non-revs.
So according to your logic, I should be able to non rev in front of retirees from your company then.
What arrogance!
I work for Deta Connection, I know where I stand and can accept it. I'm not saying I shold go above your paents or retirees, but what I have a problem is a BUDDY PASS who can be a friend or a friend of a friend of a friend, can bump my parents out of a Delta flight. Honestly do you think that's acceptable?
Acutally, about your last statement you DO go above our retirees on a Pinnacle operated flight. Since you will be S3 and our retirees are S3R. You can go above our retirees but we can't go above your retirees? Hummmm You can even go above me even with me being a Pinnacle employee on a Pinnacle operated flight. If you have a earlier hire date. Oh and if you select S2 option I can forget about going in front of you even if it's on the Pinnacle operated flight.
I'll give you the key point:
We (Pinnacle employees) cannot bump you, your parents, or retirees on a DELTA OPERATED flight, but YOU (Delta employees) ALWAYS bump, my parents, our retirees even sometimes ME on a PINNACLE OPERATED flight. The very same airplane that we fly, our MX service, and says our company's name and logo on it, you might have just bumped my wife or kids off. Think about it the next time you board a plane that says "Operated by ........"
I'll give you another story to think about. This is on a Pinnacle operated flight, that I worked from DTW - PIT. It was booked full, a Pinnacle and Delta guy shows up for the Jumpseat, ofcouse both are listed as a non-rev also. The jumpseat would have gone to the Pinnacle guy. Both pilots are listed as S3 in the back. The Delta guys is more senior by 2 months. The flight was weight critical, and we couldn't take any jumpseater, we tried everything possible, change route, move bags, front to back, back to front. change altitude. One seat opens up since the last PAX didn't show up. Guess who got the seat in the back? The Delta guy because he was hired 2 months earlier. The Delta guy got to go home to his family while the Pinnacle guy got to spend another night in DTW. All we got after that flight was a dirty look from the Delta guy when he walked off the plane.
