Check the Airport standby list and you'll see everyone's priority that's checked in. DS is below us so not to worry.

They are not checked in yet. I suppose I could search for another Endeavor flight somewhere in the system that has DS onboard and figure out their priority. Thanks for letting me know DS is below us though.

That only gives priority codes, not carrier codes.

I could be wrong- but DS is for Delta Global. And they ride at S3C.

Again- I could be wrong.

DGS is Delta Global Services and they have the same priority as Delta employees.

I think most DGS are S3C unless they are a manager, then they are S3 I think.

You should asked that this be checked. We should all enforce the contract. I took a quick look at the 330b's and there were only a couple that had 6 days of vacation and only one with two 6 day blocks. It was legal since the trips were of lower value then yours. Perhaps you switched categories. You can also check your reasons report.
On a side note it's important to understand the contract. I recently talked with a pilot who because he did not understand how to use PBS in a training month dealt himself over a 15% paycut for the entire year! That's a tough thing to swallow when a hour on the Internet or a few phone calls would have saved the day. There are resources on how to bid in almost every situation on the DALPA website.

This is correct. 95% are S3C, some are S3. You won't know until they check in.

Can you elaborate on what happened?
