I think the union's expectationa are a tad too high with trying to get the old rule reinstated.
When I travel on an RJ, I have to travel S3C. On numerous occasions I have been bumped in ATL at the last minute because a connection employee traveling on a pass with less seniority shows up. It is what it is. I accept that. I do not accept however, that an employee working for a company that's not DAL has priority over me because of DOH if we are both traveling on DAL. You get priority on your airline, I get it on mine. And in the case of my former commute to NYC, sometimes two leg commutes each way are your new way of life. Get a good book and plan accordingly. Also, get a crash pad in Kew Gardens near a subway line. Your life will be much better.
