If you are taking about 9e Endeavor this doesn't have anything to do with them.

They will still fly s3a. DGS and 9e have nothing to do with each other.

A lot of people use DGS just for flight benefits so we will see if enough decide to quit and hurt the operation.
What does “pay yield fare as imputed income” mean?

I think that means they'd calculate the buddy pass yield fare and then instead of charging that to the employee, they'd put that amount into income for the purpose of taxing it. So a $200 fee would be treated like $200 of income and you'd pay whatever taxes you'd owe for that amount in conjunction with the rest of your income etc.

Wow!! That’s horrible. My husband works for DGS... we use the flight benefits quite frequently to see our family overseas... actually, pretty much all the employees work there because of it! Nobody wants to stay with them, not worth it anymore...

Employees and immediate family are exempt under federal law from imputed taxes on airline passes. Passes given to those outside of immediate family either have to pay what the IRS considers a reasonable charge or pay imputed income on the value of the tickets. This is a IRS not Delta rule and consistent with how perks like a company car are taxed in any business.
The only miracle is that we have been able to hold onto the exemption for immediate family!
