Am I getting this right?
So in my opinion, no, you aren’t getting it right.

For the record, it's mainly ALPA that grinds my gears. But I do expect mainline employees to be more humble and knowledgeable than what has been displayed here.

I don’t see this benefit in your TA and now current contract. So, don’t lose sight of the fact that it was given to you as recruiting tool, not out of the goodness of Delta's heart. That said, when the time comes that it is no longer needed you most likely should to lose it and go back to the old way.

The funny thing is Endeavor doesn't even have priority on their own meal. Delta and Endeavor both fly as S3 on 9E flights, sorted by DOH. DL retirees (S3C) go above 9E retirees (S4), parents, and dependants too (S3CR).
Don't see any of you picking up your pitchforks for this "injustice".
AA pilots welcome their WO brothers with open arms, and they travel at MAINLINE priority, even better than what 9E is getting. I guess it's too much to ask Delta pilots to show the same class.
Sorry for the interruption, go back to complaining about a Delta owned/managed/operated/controlled airline getting things a bit better so they don't get bumped going to/from work (to grow YOUR profit sharing check, of which they see a big fat $0) by grandma going on a day vaca.
