Just remember, SGU doesn't give anything up until they have figured out how to take it away somewhere else.
The first question SGU will ask and what we should all be asking ourselves is "What are you willing to give up to get Delta benny's on the 175?" After all, we are just a regional. If we don't like it, we should just all go to mainline.
One month of denied jumpseats, with a 3x5 printed card explaining why would have this fixed toot suite. A few crew cancellations at mama D would have their attention and it would be fixed. But many want to work for mama D and are loathe to do anything but toadie up and "go along" to get on eventually.
