Further, EDV aren't even equals on mainline, that would be an improvement. They go ahead of mainline retirees and parents.
yes, another benefit to their system is that a “through passenger” goes ahead of a originating passenger of the same priority. Odds are if you are starting a trip somewhere you have a place to go if you miss your flight, if you are just connecting somewhere you probably don’t. I’ve used both systems. AAs wins hands down. Plus Jetnet is far better than travel net

all AA WO employees go AHEAD of all AA retirees and parents and at the same priority as Active AA employees

who are you saying it is an improvement for?

No, not a through passenger, a working pilot who hadn't flown his last leg back to ORD yet. Happened all the time. It's the gamesmanship that needs to be played in a pure TOC world.

TOC also hurts the guys that are flying when the check-in window opens. It really hurts the guys who then miss that flight and need to rebook.

are you saying non rev or JS? Non revs can check in 24 hours in advance this determines priority among like travel priorities . Not sure about JS but I think it is similar. They can reserve the JS ahead of time and just walk up any time prior to about 15 out

I’d love to see the gnashing of teeth and “but my seniority” posts if we went to a TOC system

you can check in 24 hrs prior. If you are flying at that time at least you know a day out where you stand on the list. Nothing like getting to the airport and watching 8 people check in for your fight in the 1.5 hours before departure and miss a flight... at least their system allows you to better plan ahead

Sure it sucks, but rarely happens as you get more senior, and even more rarely to the point of getting bumped. The great thing is seniority continues to work even if your plans change (weather, delays, cancelations etc.)

I think most Delta pilots live in this weird bubble where everything is better everywhere else... except when it isn't and they are aghast that anyone would do it differently.

We're talking about S3Cs jumping to S3A (skipping S3B) on mainline flights. That's a Delta system changing to a worse Delta system. Trust us, we have no illusions how bad we are at some things. #UALvacation&SWAScopeC2019

Where is that referenced in the contract?

I signed up thinking our buddy passes weren't basically worthless....I’ll get over it.
