Would you be upset if your family used Pinnacle to get where they want to but you had to buy them ZED pass to get them on vs just listing them on the flight? I'm sure most Delta/NWA would get bent out of shape too if they had to pay for a ZED pass to get their family on a plane that Pinnacle bought and operate (900's). I don't expect to be ahead on a mailine guy on a Delta or NWA flight but having to buy a ZED pass on a Delta flight for my dad to me is wrong. I'm not asking Delta employees to give up anything, just have the same benefits as we did in the NWA system. Take this for example. How is it that I can send my dad on Alaska Airlines from SEA to MSP for $80 on a ZED/ID but on the new Delta pass it's $400+ on ZED. To me this doesn't seem right. You might not think it will affect you guys with this new travel benefits for us, but what would happened if your family or the family of other Delta employees is trying to get on a Pinnacle flight but the flight is canceled because CA or FO can't get to work due the mother of a Mesaba gate agent (who was hired last week) bumped a 10 year Pinnacle CA off a Delta flight. Like i said i don't expect what you guys (at mainline) have but the new travel benefit is much worse than what we use to have.
