Mainline pilots just believe it’s somehow different for them because surely, they must be on a higher level than everyone else.
I’m thankful the SEC doesn’t determine our nonrev priority. Otherwise it would be DOH for everyone: Delta, DGS, Endeavor, Monroe Energy, Delta Private Jets ...

This has nothing to do with pilots, it has everything to do with who you work for. And by work for I mean what your W2 says. But hey, if somebody who works for DPJ wants to tell their friends that they work for Delta, there’s nothing we can do to stop them.

So you are justifying changing a long standing Nonrev priority policy disadvantaging tens of thousands of DELTA EMPLOYEES just to save some $$$ and help Endeavor pilots get to work??? You need to rethink your position here. That is a terrible argument with little justification, especially if you're a Delta pilot!!!

Ahhh, go a day early, drive or .....MOVE Your argument just doesn't make sense here.

I can see 9E S3a's to work and back, the problem is that they are young and prolific which knocks out 3 to 5 seats per employee. And that's all I have to say about that.

Did you really just ask how seniority is fair?

The Endeavor commuter clause is a “me too” off the DAL PWA, it’s identical. Again, this means when 9E misses the 6a out FLL because 9 retirees got on, DAL is purchasing the $3,000+ tickets to remove revenue customers on the 8am.

If this fact offends your sensibilities so much, maybe your airline shouldn’t have sold scope. Again, if you want it fixed. See section 1 of the PWA and fix it.

We use different software vendors, Delta has to dump iCrew for it to work, otherwise it has to entered manually like it's done for working flights.

Exactly, I don’t get why this is so difficult. Only the employee going TO work.
