DAL was supposed to start charging a mileage fee, but they dropped that idea for the time being. You pay a $50 annual fee (covers you, spouse, kids, parents). Parents and buddy passes on DAL pay a mileage fee and taxes...about half of a normal coach fare.
Actually, UA no longer charges for coach only first class.

On DAL, parents don't pay a mileage fee only people on buddy passes.

YX was only MKE, ORD, and DEN. This may have recently changed, but that is how it was until the end of March.

United is free in coach, DL is free for both after paying a $50 service fee each year to activate you PPR number.

YX is free for MKE, ORD, and DEN, all others pay $10 per segment.

Parents pay the same on UA, pay a yield fare on DL, and $10 per segment on YX.

Yes, that's correct about UAL. I forgot they changed it.

But for DAL, are sure they got rid of the parents fee? My folks had to pay last time. I think they are suppoosed to start payroll deduction eventually.

My parents paid for a couple of DAL trips when I first started last fall but they haven't paid anything since December 1st. They use the benefits quite often.

I think you are right that they are supposed to start payroll deduction sometime but it seems to keep getting put off. Maybe they will finally give up and not charge.
