SIAP, but talked to a recent retiree and he was really upset about this (change?) that puts Endeavor guys ahead of our retiree's. I wholeheartedly agree. I say we put this high on our list for the contract. Not right.

Agreed. Could I have a medical plan with that please. Medium rare.

There could obviously be exceptions for pilots commuting to work, but arguing that a retiree should lose the last Delta One seat to Sydney to an Endeavor new hire is going to be a pretty tough ask here.

One issue I see is, if a retiree bumps an active Endeavor employee while he/she is commuting to work. They get positive space on the next flight. What if that next flight is already over sold or you and your family is trying to non rev on.

Having Uncle John and little Timmy get on a flight prior to an active employee trying to get to work is beyond me..
Active employees should very well go ahead of retirees. They're trying to get to work, to a job, and make a living. If they can't get to work, how is that done? Then if they can't, that causes an operational disruption as crew members are out of place, or positive space tickets are issued. Let's not overthink this..

Well - they don't anymore, and the Endeavor employee does work for Delta. They are not a Delta employee, but make no mistake those pay rates are the reason you and that retiree enjoyed all those profit sharing checks.
You retire, your seperated from the company. As a benefit you still get space available travel, albeit at a lower priority.
