Would you be mad if your whole family got split up and your kids or spouse didn't get on, however you did since you are S3C however there's a lot of Compass, Skywest, ASA Go Jets bump the rest of your family, since you say they not generating revenue. I know it sucks that we get bumped when some retirees who wants to go on a mini vacation while you're trying to get home or work. Where should our spouse or kids stand since they are not generating revenue for Delta. Should they go below us active employees or keep it the same. If we keep it the same as us, shouldn't Delta's spouse or kids be the same as the active employees too?
Yes I meant DL kids. And yes they have priority over us. I was bumped off a number of flights trying to get home (yes with my wife) by a retirees kids NOT traveling with the retiree. I don't have an issue IF the retiree is with them just as I would expect my wife to travel at my priority IF I am with her. When I sent her to see her mother by herself, no I wouldn't expect the same priority level (though still higher than mainline since I sent her on one of my company's planes) I think it should be just like with buddy passes where if they were traveling WITH the employee they had the employees priority. If they traveled WITHOUT the employee, well good luck getting anywhere, back of the line they go. Same for non employees. With the worker, same priority, without, back of the line.
