Default Compass non-rev benefits??

I was wondering what priority Compass pilots and their family members have on NWA/Delta?? Also what priority does a Compass pilot have on a NWA aircraft, since they are wholly owned? Thanks for the info.

I dont work for compass, but I do work for the other wholly owned, and I believe it is a 5W code on mainline, and a 5 on you own. Delta as far as I understand is first come first serve, with a paper ticket

I have traveled on DAL since they started allowing that but I cant remember if it was an S5 or S-whatever? Some DAL guys can probably answer that one. I do know that we travel as a 5W on NWA aircraft now. It use to be a 5 but I guess there were a few ppl upset about that.

A few people? Try all of Pinnacle and Mesaba. Why should Compass be nonrevving at a higher priority than the other Airlink carriers? That's rediculous. Good thing someone got wise and changed that one.

well be ready for it to change again when the merger is complete.

Delta or comair on delta or comair aircraft s-3
Delta or comair on any other carrier(asa or chq etc.) s-3c(I think, it might be s-3b doesn't matter its a lower priority)

ASA, CHQ etc. on delta or comair s-3c
ASA, CHQ etc. on ASA, CHQ s-3

So yes the wholly owned in the Delta system will get priority on Delta a/c over other regionals. The other regionals get priority on their own a/c over delta and wholly owned.

Because we are wholly owned by Northwest. We are a part of them, as is Mesaba. Compass and Mesaba should be a higher pass priority than Pinnacle.

LOL you wish.... Too bad that's not how it works. You are still 5W on NWA just like Mesaba and Pinnacle. Since you are at Compass and I have been at Pinnacle before Compass even started I have priority over you since it's based on senority after that (We are both 5W). If you think it's ok for Compass or Mesaba should be higher than Pinnacle, on a mainline flight . Do you think NWA's pilots should be higher than a Compass pilot on a Compass's plane, because NWA own those airplanes?

Like Riddle said, expect that to change in the next year or two.

NWA is higher than Compass on Compass airplanes. NWA employess travel as a 5 on NWA and Regional airplanes.

I know how our current system works...there was never any question in my mind how it works.

Both should be at a level 5, with Pinnacle at 5W.

Absolutely, they own our airplanes...like I said, NWA owns us and Mesaba. We are all part of the same corporation. The only thing Pinnacle has to do with NWA is an ASA.
