While this does not really happen, but to all of our dismay regional flying is really taking over the domestic market. Then DCI people could say the samething... you dont work for Delta Connection so you shouldnt have the same priority. I have a feeling Delta people would be really PO'd who are commuting from FWA,BTV,SBN etc etc.
Or how would you feel if you commute home was cnxld after a 10 day trip in Asia because one of the pilots couldnt commute to work, because a Delta buddy pass rider got on ahead of him/her??
Its a tough call, but giving crewmembers at DCI a better priority would help us all out.
I'm personally not so peeved about priority for myself, as I am for my travel beneficiaries...
especially since they have to pay so much more now (ZED High) than they did under NW for their tix. At least, old style, it was a one way assessed fare of a fixed value per leg, and they got on at my priority. Paying ZED high is ridiculous when they have the same priority on Delta as they do on any other ZED carrier (which, oh by the way, was the reason Delta didn't continue it's ZED-M agreements with other carriers, so that there's no financial incentive to take the same priority with a different carrier).
Delta guys...
I'll be honest, the way we're treated, I always ALWAYS recommend friends, family, and travel benefits enrollees NEVER to fly on Delta, because there's no point with our benefits to do so.
