I don’t mind the S3A, if is for the pilot/FA going to/from work. Their spouses, kids and themselves should be below retirees/DAL active employee parents for any other non-revenue travel.

That’s just my point of view, and I’ve been saying it for long time.

I’m asking because I don’t know...

On AA wholly-owned employees travel at the same priority as mainline employees. The order in a priority class is also determined by check in time so a new hire at Envoy can end up ahead of a 20 year mainline captain by checking in a few seconds earlier.

NW put RJ pilots (even non wholly owned) at the same priority as active employees by DOH. Comair and ASA travelled at S3 and had S2 passes for many years as well.

I'm more concerned with bringing the flying to our seniority list than worrying about what priority the pilots doing that flying travel at.

Does Delta have 100% ownership of compass, GoJet, Republic, and Skywest? If they do, yes. Your retirees did give allot for this profession. So do the Endeavor employees. You can see it in your profit sharing check among other things.

A simple solution to this problem is for DAL to bring all the regional flying back in house. No need to staple any regional to the bottom of the list. Just bring the flying back in house.

Guessing your not ok with Endeavor commuting to/from work going ahead of your S2/3 status?

S1A already exist and is for emergency situations.

Is it starting to make a little more sense?

It’s a Delta flight subcontracted out to a regional airline partner. I think Delta employees should be S2/S3 on ALL flights.

It wasn’t that way for NWA. NW employee, was listed as 5 on any NW or NW Airlink. Pinnacle, Mesaba and Compass was 5W on mainline. They still went behind NW retirees and parents who was listed as 5P/5R
