Parent/Retiree Pass Travel
Was there ever a time parents could ZED on KLM? It makes Europe a lot more difficult not being able to use them. Air France has mush less frequency out of CDG.
Also DGS parents and retirees fly at the same level as Delta's. DGS isn't even WO by Delta anymore yet they have equal benefits.
And don't get me started with Endeavor's benefits...
All this while we're flying at record load factors.
All in all our parents and retirees have it pretty rough compared to other airlines. Not much of a "benefit" these days.

But yes... Delta's interline agreements are lagging behind the industry. Airlines like UA has ZED business class agreements with Lufthansa, Swiss, Air Canada etc.
Delta employees can only standby for coach class on ZED tickets with other airlines. I wish we negotiate reciprocal business ZED agreements with airlines which offer it.

Agreed, it would be nice to have the option for the ZED...but will take our plan over UAL/AA for "own" metal
