What we did threaten, and still intend to carry out, it failing to "work the numbers" on weight limited flights. There are certain things we can do like call the dispatcher and drop contingency fuel, make liberal kid counts, etc. to accommodate non-revs.

If we were to lose non-rev priority on our own flights, we really wouldn't be motivated to do such things anymore. A lot of mainline pilots commute to work on 50 seaters out of Florida. These tend to be the most weight limited flights. As it turns out, DAL "let" us keep priority on our own flights.
