I don't think this agenda is a waste of time, I have heard that there have been talks and that there exists a possibility for changes this upcoming year.
I agree 100%. International travel has zero negative impact on Delta, so to restrict it makes no sense. As Mesaba/Compass were sold, we lose all of our "hard earned" pass benefits. I am in no way asking for the same travel benefits as mainline. What I am asking, is to have the same benefits as ASA/Skywest. I would much rather pay $100 for employee benefits and $50 for each person thereafter (max of $200), than to see our benefits cut at the same $50 rate we have been paying.
