2. Dinosaurs never existed. How could they have? They are not mentioned in the Bible.
3. One day nothing, next day the Earth and sky, then BAM! people. And the next day, BAM! cows and goats for the people to eat....and so on....and so on.
4. Uhoh, I caught myself writing about one of the things you should never talk about...religion and politics! So, may I digress? Comair sucks
Oh yeah, and by the way...I do not believe any of the 3 things mentioned here

-DCI moves to MSP
-Shake up in route system
-Comair now operations Northwest Airlink flights after Northwest is conforming to Delta.
-Travel benefit system is being redone to put everyone in the same sandbox.
-Regional Handling Service. (Flight crews will be know as Regional Something Services)
They are literally preparing Comair for a merge with another regional, or holding company. They are doing it right in front of us, but some people are just too niave to see it.

Turbo...just because he asked about changing travel benefits doesn't mean he's naive about the company merging. DAL as a whole is streamlining all of its assets including its regional ops, ground handling, etc. Comair being a DAL asset (in theory at least
) is gonna feel that effect too. We could merge and still have the same travel benefits, its just that the flights are gonna be too full to get on anyways.

If some moron is going to put some doomsday apocalyptic bull shirt on you tube at least give the people enough respect to do a little research. the oldest human skeleton was found in east africa and is estimated through carbon dating to be over 200,000 years old. that's a little longer than 4000 B.C.

There was another rumor going around right before I got f'd that we'd be given Mesaba and Compass nonrev benefits, which eliminates S2 travel and the ability to sit in First Class. Don't know how true that is about Airlink folks not having access to first class or not, I don't know anything about their benefits.

HUH? You already have benefits on Mesaba and Compass. NWA doesn't differentiate the Airlinks for nonrev travel. After all, it's all NWA flying, just operated by a partner. We have access to FC or World Business class, it's just for a fee, as opposed to being free on DL. Our boarding priorities are different from mainline, unlike yours. In the end, none of this matters as the entire DL group will be streamlined under one pass program. It seems most things will remain as they are for DL, but big changes for us with a red tail.

Maybe I didn't word it correctly. The rumor was, that we'd be given the same benefits as Mesaba and Compass. And, as I stated, I have no idea what those benefits are, but was told that it was no priority travel (s2) and no access to first class.
I now know from your post that you pay a fee for First Class. I sure as hell hope that gets cut, although I'm sure Delta will gladly charge for both first and coach now. I wouldn't be surprised to see Delta require everyone to pay yield fares, although the commuting group would sure raise hell.

As from what I've been getting from contacts at DL, things should stay the same for us, which I hope is true. If not I'm bailing to RHS to chuck bags if they get better nonrev bennies. I'm jumping over to Delta when a decent job opens up. That way I won't have to worry about any of this DCI rat race crap.
