XJ goes to 9E benefits in Jan 2010...but they are working out a deal for all DCI carriers including wholly owned to have the same pass travel bennies...
It was foolish for Skywest pilots to think DAL would sell Compass or Mesaba to Skywest. They got burned by Comair before 9/11. They won't let that happen again.
