Obviously Delta management can do this as it is not contractual, but don't expect the mainline employees (or retirees) to be happy about it. It's amusing you feel like you "deserve" it because you fly "Delta" passengers. Let me ask you this. Are you happy flying 800+ Delta Connection flights to feed mainline, or would you like to actually become a Delta employee and fly for mainline some da?
PS. It's nothing personal against Endeavor or it's employees. I hope they all work for Delta eventually.
It seems like its highly personal when we're being identified solely based on the name of the company on our I.D's, regardless of years of service. (Even though the back of my Endeavor ID says that its property of Delta Air Lines)
I'm also not sure why you have quotation marks around the word "Delta" when referring to our passengers. We are 100% owned by Delta and exclusively fly Delta passengers. Not "Delta" passengers
.
In any case, you're entitled to your own opinion. But I'm sure if you were me and got denied boarding because some mainline employee with green hair, a bolt in his eyebrow and a hire date months after me gets on my planned flight home ahead of me, you'd be as upset as me when it happened.
Also, FYI, AA doesn't have this type of hierarchy in their non-rev agreement. Whether you work for mainline or their regionals, everyone travels at the same priority. Because at the end of the day, they all contribute to the same bottom line (as do we).
