And no, I don't commute, but from the times I've "tried" it... it sucks. Oh well....
But what is this ASA guy's jumpseat committee going to be able to do about our management's Air Service Agreement with Delta? Nothing. Phil Trenary does not care if someone from Comair/SkyWest/ASA/Mesaba/etc... got denied on our flight.
And how about offline non-revs? How do you think offline non-revvers are going to treat us when they're working our gates, throwing our bags, pushing us back, and going the extra mile to help our families get on-board? They're not. We barely have a ground station footprint in this industry anymore and those are folks I'd rather not mistreat. Again, they haven't done anything wrong. Why punish them? How would you feel if Delta denied you a jumpseat because you were one of "those Pinnacle guys".
The only solution to this problem is the company following our current contractual agreement and having the same or better in the new one. If that'll be enforced, well, I guess we'll see.
