About to non-rev on Expressjet (formerly ASA) on a former Pinnacle route. Mainline travels as S3c and behind Expresjet and Expressjet parents. Was it like that on ASA before they merged with Expressjet?
I don't understand why mainline would travel on a delta connection flight behind Expressjet's parents. Is this new?

Delta needed that $450 million back then so they agreed to it.

it helps remind us that Delta is a ticket broker and we are just one of many providing air transportation services.
see lee moak for details.

What IF...
We (and by we I mean DALPA) were able to negotiate a NEW pay rate for all the 757 replacements, ie. all 737's and all A319/320/321's, to equal 757/767 pay?
Hummmm....
Then would we be beoching about getting new (used), little airplanes?
I was very dissapointed in the last T/A, that they didn't put the 717 at the same rate as the MD88/90. What I would like to see is, all the narrow bodies, pay the same, and all the wide bodies pay the same. The arguement you make to management is, it will save you a Bazzillion dollars in training, and will reduce the need to hire, since fewer pilots will be locked up in training.

What if the 739 and 321 paid the same as the 757? Would that mean that an airline with the 739 being their biggest jets also mean that they would have WB expectations on our fleet if we had to do an SLI? (757=739/321=767ER?) Sometimes a slight loss in pay may benefit you greatly down the road.

That's true, you never know when an 'improvement' will come back to bite you!

The DAL 73N CA would have the career expectation (and seniority to currently hold) of holding 744/777 CA. The other guy wouldn't get any higher then 737 CA. So no.
