You could have an ASA pilot left at the gate when he runs out of travel days while someone who works at American can fly overseas endless amounts of time!
9E union guys are said to be working with ALPA on this... To me, this is a VERY easy fix. Simply have all PPR numbers for PILOTS switched to unlimited international travel days. Employees of ASA/SKYW/Pinnacle who aren't pilots can stay at 3 for year. This would be a super easy and logical fix.
Yeah I somehow don't see Delta management going for that. You obviously think you deserve more than your fellow DCI employees.
You might get unlimited international jumpseat privilages, but not unlimed travel days on your PPR. Management knows that non-wholly owned DCI pilots are using the jumpseat to bypass the three alloted international days, which is why they came up with that. I'm sure DALPA can help you guys get the unlimeted international jumpseat priviledges.
