Having said that, it still doesn't make it right. IMO the best thing they could have done was make it DOH for ALL active employees regardless of mainline, wholly owned or contract. ALL active employees would board before all retirees, parents, dependents, buddies, RTC, etc. based on pure seniority. That would the most fair way.
At least Comair doesn't have it as bad as Pinnacle. Now THOSE are the folks who really have something to complain about.
This is not a flame but the reality of all this is you are not a DAL employee. Just as I was not a CAL or USAirways employee when I worked for their regionals. Heck I even worked for a wholly owned USAirways regional but that still did not make them my employer, my paycheck came from the company that I actually worked for.
