If someone was on a leave of absence, then obviously they kept their seniority. If they left(resigned) and returned, there’s An LOA that allows someone to return inside of 5 years with their longevity. Not seniority, so they would start over where that is concerned.

I guess there's some obvious confusion between LOA you're trying to clear up. Let me add.

LOA: leave of absence.
LOA: letter of agreement.

A pilot may be on an LOA (voluntary or otherwise), which through an LOA may be able to come back at his/her choice and resume their seniority but not credit longevity during leave.

But a pilot who left may be able to come back on an LOA and restart their seniority but get longevity credit for prior time worked.

Clear as mud? I'd hope in the future you all just let Shadre Reevis opine, so he will sound this dumb in the crew room. Is he wrong? Of course. But he was so clearly wrong we could have just as easily let him continue on and wait until he said something this dumb in the crew room and shared a laugh together as a team. Use your head. Its very likely now he'll keep his stupid mouth shut and we'll miss the comedy he could have brought to our day.

Delta Travel
 

Does anyone know if we keep Delta travel bennies for life if we retire at Endeavor? If so, how old do you have to be and/or how many years of service?

I believe you just need 10 years service at Endeavor. No age requirement I think.

Thanks. I just found my own answer on the company website and will post it here for anyone else who cares.

"Employees must retire on or after their 52nd birthday with at least 10 years of consecutive service or have at least 25 years of consecutive service with Endeavor."

Looks like TravelNet got a nice little update with a new feature showing available seats for those that can't count :D

There is, but its a code sentence.

"Can we talk about anything other than aviation?"

You can, unless Delta takes them away like they are for the XJT retirees. Pretty bum deal if you ask me.

10 years service, or 25 years service at EDV? Does that mean 10 years at DL or 25 years at EDV?

No. They both apply to Endeavor service. Either 10 years and 52 years old OR 25 years and no age restriction.
