Delta Biz Elite is complimentary space avail to Delta and Delta Connection pilots however I recently found that United Express pilots have to pay $$ for biz/first.. so I really was just curious if it's the same for the mainline pilots.
Yes we pay to ride in first or biz. There is an option to list fee waived, but you go to the bottom of the standby list if you do so. We do get an allotment of vacation passes which are fee waived and higher travel priority. Welcome to "Nickel and Dime Airlines"
