Of course when they finally do get some seniority you’ll hear all about how they paid their dues and how it sucks that just anyone can reserve the Jumpseat.
Jumpseat by seniority only. Delta can keep their reinvented wheel while we continue to do it properly.
You seriously think a DAL Captain would let a jumpseat go empty because the place holder no showed? Sorry other guy, but this seat is reserved, even if he didn’t show up. Really?
Everyone at UAL wants us to be Delta... contract, profit sharing, profitability, Airbus orders, etc. Right up until they don’t. It sucked for me it must suck for you!
