I was told there is a priority for first vs rear of aircraft, but the gate agents pretty much do what they want otherwise. IMO, they do what they want with their friends period. Keep reporting exact details to CPO. Write someone. I've written everyone for years asking for some kind of priority vs the vague guidelines we have. One of my personal experiences we checked in as S2 and were number 2/3. The person #1 changed S2 to S3 and we were now number 1&2 on the list: put on opposite sides of the jet, center seats, rear of a 757. The new number 3 got EC. Wife of a jumpseater "schmoozing" the gate agent got EC. Agent proceeded to board the jet in almost exact reverse seniority order with Buddies and S4 sitting next to each other close to front, aisle, window. Reported to CPO and pass people: I bet them the person changed to S3 and put in EC was a fellow gate agent. No takers on the bet. Nada, zip happened. Call station manager and keep complaining. Maybe eventually they will simply board us with some respect for seniority. OFG

Looking at the A-320 sim training schedule. There a several people that show as LAX F/Os. Last I checked, there are no A-320's in LAX. Any idea what this is about?
Update: One of the guys is currently a 717 F/O at LAX. Not on this most current AE...

I never post, but have seen this issue a lot. "Travel Companions ". Non DAL people on S2 passes with stupid seniority dates getting on flights. Latest was me trying to get my family of 4 to PUJ. Guy doing the obvious non rev shuffle beside us. I ask him his plans. Short story, he and his wife are on S2 "companion passes" with a 96 date. Mind you, not a DAL person with them. Real happy he made it, while my 6 year old was asking me why we didn't...

Travel Companions. But in this case it was a married couple, of which, neither work at Delta, traveling on S2.
I didn't solicit any of this info, guy was looking for help cause he and his wife couldn't get on travelnet.

So apparently that Pilot Relative Seniority website is now a payed one. You know, the one where you put your employee # and it tells where you would sit on any fleet and on a particular year etc etc. It was entertaining to do every now and again but don't think it warrants a membership. Anyone know if there's a freebie out there somewhere?

No such category. You can however list for almost anything. Something not right going on here. Send the flight info to Delta.

So if you're rerouted before sign-in (second leg cancelled, layover in a hub.) And then rerouted again on your first leg (added a second leg and laying over in a different city) do you get any premium pay?
Also, try the new DALPA scheduling hotline 866-239-0437. Those guys are hella smart on the cans and can't dos of the schedule.
Basically Day 1 was EWR/MSP/BIL. Before sign-in they cancelled MSP/BIL and assigned us a layover in MSP.
Enroute to MSP they re-routed us again back to a BIL layover but with a different flight number.
