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!
It has to do with how jumpseaters are cleared at DL. if you are an OAL, they use CASS. If you have an employee # in TravelNet, they use that instead.

Good luck with that! While you think it's a very easy fix, DT is up to it's eyeballs in alligators because of the merger, and if they are unwilling to assign manpower to fix our crew computer issues, I seriously don't see them working on DCI employee issues.
