Thousands of ASA's rampers and gate agents were "hired" by Delta with their pass benefits. Why not the pilots who were hired by Delta the same month?
With the upcoming displacement of legions of Delta pilots, the effect of Delta's generosity with pass benefits is that Delta pilots are going to find it difficult to commute to and from the cities where they never wanted to work in the first place.
A Mesaba ramper on his way to enjoy dinner and a movie on a 777 out of Atlanta is going to bump ACL 65 on his return from IOE on a DC9. Fair?
Any way to "me too" on the DOH that every other employee group has enjoyed as Delta has enjoyed the benefits of merger synergies?
Hey Bar, which way do you want it? Regionals with date of hire on your mainline seniority list, or mainline preference for pass riding...?
Or do you want your CMR date of hire for your Delta pass benefits, so you can bump your classmates at Delta?
Patience, grasshopper. Drums are saying there's a change coming. I'm sure ACL can fill you in on the details when he's finished bumping the Mesaba ramper.
