Who did you interview with? Just curious, as I don’t honestly know.

Just so I understand, are you saying a mainline Delta pilot can bump an Endeavor pilot off the jump seat on an Endeavor liveried aircraft?

No
This is about non-rev flight benefits.

Because it's an active employee benefit.

No it doesn't. I've seen nothing but respect both ways, including an Endeavor pilot who had no business in the JS because of his ridiculously inadequate dress code (DL CA absolutely would have gotten in trouble for it if caught, and no it was not a last minute emergency...the guy was just clueless) be accommodated. And plenty of DL pilots have taken JS to get non revs on, as well as the FA JS to get OAL on. Same for OAL regionals and LCC's, both ways. Obviously there are exceptions, like the one you mentioned yourself about how you didn't help someone when you could have because you felt slighted by them. Fine, but that's the exception and you know it, from both of your points of views.

You're using the same talking points that Comair and ASA tried to use, and they won't work now because they didn't work then. Being a WO doesn't mean the airlines are the same. You're not helping yourself or your airline's struggle for pay and QOL by pretending otherwise, and you're inventing and then embracing a sense of entitlement that will only distract your efforts to improve your working conditions, including moving on if necessary.

Irrelevant and you know it. Republic and NWA (and numerous other examples across the industry) were integrated because of mainline (their's and other's) scope clauses and merger language. That does not apply to your airline and you know it, so why make false comparisons?

I thought this was about non rev travel benefits? At Endeavor you travel on the same code as us. DOH is the determining factor. At Delta we travel 2 steps below you.
In May we move up one step on Delta flights. We’re still below active
Delta employees and their families.
