With the upcoming displacement of legions of Delta pilots, the effect of Delta's generosity with pass benefits is that Delta pilots are going to find it difficult to commute to and from the cities where they never wanted to work in the first place.

A Mesaba ramper on his way to enjoy dinner and a movie on a 777 out of Atlanta is going to bump ACL 65 on his return from IOE on a DC9. Fair?

Any way to "me too" on the DOH that every other employee group has enjoyed as Delta has enjoyed the benefits of merger synergies?

The ASA rampers to be best of my knowledge for a new hire date for passes and it was June XX, 2007. They kept their YOS for other bennies.

Not only that, but there are not "thousands" old ASA rampers and CSAs, more like a few hundred. And those were only the ones who work in Atlanta. The ones who work the outstations are still ASA and travel S3C on mainline flights just like all the other DCI employees, including Comair.

Hey Bar, which way do you want it? Regionals with date of hire on your mainline seniority list, or mainline preference for pass riding...?:D Or do you want your CMR date of hire for your Delta pass benefits, so you can bump your classmates at Delta?

Patience, grasshopper. Drums are saying there's a change coming. I'm sure ACL can fill you in on the details when he's finished bumping the Mesaba ramper.;)

That's what is changing. At least according to NWA pilots on the ALPA board. Full S2's, S3's like anyone else.

Maybe the poster was incorrect. ACL says the F-ASA'ers lost DOH. I remember a different deal.
