Chelsea is the catering division of Continental.

Chelsea supervisors as well as Continental supervisors receive the SA1 passes. A supervisor is basically anyone with 2 direct reports.

According to the pass survey, 82% of the respondents were against this. However, I believe SA1 passes are here to stay.

Here is what Smisek is going to say:
"We have to keep SA1 passes because our managers are the best in the business. It would be unfair to discontinue them"

Mark my words. I hope I am wrong, but this management, more than any other I have worked for, has no issue with having a class system. They continually do what they can to let you know where your place is and how little they value you, especially pilots and flight attendants.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, the Continental culture everyone talks about has been gone for at least 5 years.
