I corrected it. I was talking to Slowplay. Sorry.

After reading through 9 pages of posts, nowhere do I see how Pinnacle employees will benefit/not benefit from the newly combined pass travel benefits. Anyone have any scoop on this? Nothing on the 9E employee website.

From what I gathered, Comair and the DCI carriers (wholly AND non-wholly owned??) will now board after mainline DL on mainline metal?

The NWA call-in-honest policy is very liberal. We have a specific phone number to call. The person that answers the phone only deals with call-in-honest. I have heard of pilots only leaving themselves one flight, then realizing they are not going go get on when they get there, calling call-in-honest and getting space positive on their first and only flight. I've never been denied using it, but I've always called for my back-up. It is actually a great policy that makes commuting fairly stress free.

It states in our flier that we will adopt NWA's policy of equal boarding priority on DCI except SW, and EV. Guess that means you too. We go ahead of everyone on mainline flights.

I read through the 9 page memo from Delta. While I am happy we here at SKW get to go first on our own aircraft while other DCI carriers don't I don't get it? What makes us Acey and SKW pilots so special?

My guess is a BK era contract.

Guess you guys did not agree. Some say it is done, but other do not. I guess I will do a little digging and see what I can find out tomorrow.

maybe the DAL-N guys can make some progress in this area, and I would love it if that happens...but not only has the company been reluctant to embrace commuters, the old head Capts I have met or spoken with are the same way....everything from "I dont want to lose a seat/pass privelege to a junior guy trying to get to work" to...."...commuting is a choice...move to ATL". Don't expect any support except from the junior DAL guys.

I know I sometimes have difficulty with reading comprehension. I think this is pretty clear:

You've got quite a few other choice quotes in your nearly 3000 posts for your fellow pilots. Where's the equal time for your buddies in management?

You could always man up, acknowledge the bias (you know, the honesty and integrity thing...) and then I could move on! As just about everything you posted about the non-rev policy in this thread is incorrect, it might not hurt your anonymous pseudonym's cred to admit that "you were wrong."

This is a very cost effective program, plus combine it with the ability to book a jump seat 10 1/2 days(no restrictions on going or coming to work) in advance, it works very well...never have heard a complaint from any one losing a seat. Sometimes commuting is not a choice when the base or aircraft move.

What do you want me to say about them? Flt Ops is flight ops, overall very little control over the company. As for the money guys. This era is better than the last. I still hold judgment though. Don't trust certain people from Ford and Harris at all. Hate the way they have killed our health care bennies. Hated the way they used 1113C. I could go on.
I will give you that I was a little to harsh with the quote you selected. Still a little bitter over a conversation I had about the very subject a year or so ago. So yes, I was incorrect for doing that. I should have worded it differently.

As for it not being something we as a union have direct control over, how is that incorrect?

I know you think that I have it in for DALPA. You are incorrect. There are things I agree with and things I do not. I have used the approved ways afforded all ALPA members in good standing through the bylaws to voice this.

I hope I have been forgiven for my sins to SLOWPLAY
