As for 9E, also a non-wholly owned sub-contractor for NW, we board at a lower priority (5) whereas Mainline and wholly-owned's have higher priority. That's part of life. Coming from a mainline airline, there are lots of differences that I have to get used to. We do not even have access to RADAR (where you can list for flights on-line. We have to call a toll-free number - which is very difficult to do when you're in Asia!) That's the one thing I wish would change in this upcoming merger...give everyone the same access to the flight benefits - mainline, and *all* regional carriers who fly for the new DL.
