Goooooooood God...I knew we'd be flying lower than XJ and CZ on mainline, which is fine (you're wholly owned, we're not, so it's fair) but DOH on our own aircraft? Including the 900s that we actually own??? I think my blood pressure is too high to work now...I better call in sick...Jesus.

What really really sucks is the company's re-interpretation of our contract language that provides for parental and buddy pass travel on 9E-operated flights...they're now saying that we have to pay for Zed High on our planes...but the contract says parents fly free on our planes...9E has re-interpreted it as "PINNACLE is not charging your parents for pass travel on 9E flights...DELTA is charging your parents for pass travel on 9E flights."

It's like getting a free coffee coupon for Starbucks, but you show up and they say "that'll be $2.50...Starbucks is giving you a free cup of coffee, but the coffee supplier is charging you $2.50."
