That's what I was getting at. At my airline, (DAL,) my sisters get on first before your parents. At your airline, (ASA,) your parents get on before my sisters. Not to be a jerk about it, but they are two different airlines. What is your parents priority on Freedom, Shuttle America DCI flights? Granted, the wholly-owned are treated differently. That is how the airlines chose to structure the deal. Considering that close to 60% of domestic capacity is on DCI, and the majority of that is by NWOs, I'd say that the DAL employee is getting the short end of the stick.
