NWA nonrev priorities?????
 

Is there any Mesaba guys that can give somme info on the different nonrev priority codes? With the new NWA.DL reciprocal agreement starting May 6th DL and W/O get a priority of 6P. I'm sure it's cargo compartment priority seating.:rolleyes:

I looked through all the emails they sent out to us NWA guys, the priority we ride at on DL looks like SNWA but I have no idea where that places us on the list. Maybe someone in the Delta system can give us a full list of codes. We will be above other interline travelers however. I'm surprised they got this going so fast, kudos to mgmt on this one (I don't give those out very often!).

Normal travel for DL and Comair employees/spouse/dependants is S-3, parents and retirees are S-3B, DCI contracted carriers are S-3C, and Buddy Pass riders and ID-90s are S-4

From the list of prioritys on travelnet, it looks like NWA will be around an S-3D

Just curious how did you find out about this agreement and the date it is suppose to start? Internal or something??

6P is the level at which the parents travel on NWA passes

Just want to add, parents of Pinnacle, Mesaba or Compass employees but, parents of NWA would just be 6... I'm almost positive on this. You will be above any offline J/S since they will be 9H

To answer the question of "where did you guys hear this" go to finance.google.com and type in northwest airlines...there was an announcement they're extending DAL/NWA interline privileges to employees starting May 6th (way before any merger) to woo the employees (i.e. Northwest employees) into moving closer to accepting the merger.

At pinnacle parents fly 6W on NWA, Compass, Mesaba metal and 6P on Pinnacle metal. Pinnacle's ATL pilots get pretty low priority on Delta, but who knows what will happen. I think it's S5 or something like that? And no reg. travel comp., only spouses and parents.

All I want is to have my buddy passes not require me to be on the same flight, as is the case with our current NWA passes at 9E.

We'll all be on Delta benefits or out of work anyways. This announcement seems to be merely a goodwill thing to sway the mainline NWA workers to accept a merger...although I don't think it will have a huge impact since this isn't about travel benefits it's about seniority...no one at NWA probably cares if they can fly on Delta if it means losing so much seniority they won't have days off to enjoy it anyways!

How does the priority work on NWA? Is it date of hire like Delta?

They sent us all an email describing the program.

6P woule be a NWA, 9E, or XJ parent riding on their respective carrier. i.e a NWA parent on NWA travels as a 6P

The same parent traveling on 9E or XJ would be a 6W (lower than a 6P)

NWA parents travel as a 6p on all the carriers, they don't drop to 6w.

I love these numbers; it's almost like being back in the military again.

OK - I'm an XJ 6P DOH 1/1/2005 in line with a NWA Parent (DOH 1/1/2005) both traveling on XJ.

Who goes first ?

Whoever checked in first.

How about the same senario on a NWA flight ?

On NWA, XJ and CP parents travel as 6w
