It's why they said you can BUY the premium seat. I just operated a DAL-DEN flight that had 22 DH crew members. That's 22 premium seats that don't go to paying pax and if a pax already paid, that's money that the company has to compensate.
Not our problem that the company didn't fully realize the cost of the 'premium seating' clause in the new CBA.
That’s only if there were 22 premium seats available at time of booking. If there’s a passenger who paid for the better seat, they won’t be bumped.
