Everyone realizes when a gate agent is looking at their screen to clear nonrevs it only shows what priority you are and not what carrier you work for? If you are nonreving on a 9E flight they would have to pull up DLterm to figure out if you are a 9E or a DL employee.

What happens most of the time is you get cleared in a main cabin seat because there are no premium seats available at the time and since you are higher on the standby list you get cleared first. Then because of no shows in the premium cabin, someone with a lower priority or hire date will get that seat. Once you board the airplane, you forfeit any right to upgrade and that is written right in Deltanet. A higher standby priority does not guarantee a better seat, it only means you will be cleared sooner.

I 100% agree that the deadheading issue needs to get fixed though, my above statement is only for being a standby.

Let's just start a JS war and get it over with. Fight fire with fire or are you whimps just all about lip service? Oh wait that would interrupt your hat style and galley announcements we wouldn't want to do that now would we.

Let’s not, we don’t do enough flying out of MSP as it is - I don’t need you fools messing my commute up and making it harder than it already is.

Ok I can see burning the place down over the BS reserve grid, but this is a bit overboard.

Am I right to assume that you don't commute?

He's actually from management and has a fairly perverse sense of fun. I dig it!

theUpsideDown

Is he from management or is he a staffer for a real management who takes his buyout and tries to pretend he's big time? I know the FAs fall for it, but maybe he should stick to writing drafts for memos?

The day he's management is the day I retire
