In the grand scheme of things DAL bennies are pretty good. Take a trip to Europe in the business elite...that will pretty much make up for the extra $150.

And I'd love to not nonrev, but unfortunately my kids live 5 states away. And that's the only place I go... on ASA, not mainline!!!

I've got a cheap answer. JUMPSEAT. You pay nothing.
It doesn't matter who you are, if your not a Delta employee, ANYBODY (no matter if they are rampers, gate agents, pilots, or FA's) they should get priority over anybody from one of their regional carriers REGARDLESS of DOH. Also, I don't think they should pay or absolutely they should pay less than their regional partners because its THEIR AIRLINE. They keep people like us in jobs....

That has nothing to do with it. You are not Delta, yet you are given passes to ride on Delta. I'm not ASA that's why I don't get to ride before any ASA employee. But I guess we should change the policy to mean any Delta employee rides DOH except for ASA since they earn less? Your argument makes about as much sense as watching Pink Floyd's "The Wall" sober.

As with anything, you could gain that but lose something else. Look at the other carriers. Find out what they pay. You may find that you do quite well here.
I can talk to my management, union, or anyone else I want. DELTA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ME OR WHAT I THINK. So I will no longer care about them, their employees, or their passengers.

Don't familiarize yourself with anyone else's pass privileges. Don't try and understand why you should have priority on ASA and I should have priority on DAL. Just mire in your own mud and hate the world, your passengers, etc.
