Oh and this is the same S3C on mainline that gets you on behind mainline new hires, retirees, and parents. Plus we have to pay to fly on our own airline. So basically, we're paying more for nothing.

Thanks for another kick in the teeth, Delta. Good luck staffing your flights when all the RJs hauling in your commuting crew members from Florida are suddenly weight limited! :mad:

How is that any different from now?:rolleyes:

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.
BTW, maybe its because I'm exhausted. My father-in-law has been on life support for the past four days. I've had a combined 10 hours of sleep while trying to take of my wife's family. So excuse me if your ridiculous assertions are misunderstood by me. I've got bigger things on my plate right now.

Can't you get positive-space or at least a higher non-rev priority through your chief pilots office for emergency situations?

Is that the one that syncs up to The Wizard of Oz? ;)

Skywest has the same new deal with the Delta nonrev benefit. It's a bit of a tough choice for me, as I hardly ever travel on Delta. More than anything, I use the ZED fare benefit, and I believe we piggyback on Delta's agreements.

I've heard that the gate agents (in SLC anyway) won't even provide you with a jump seat request card unless you've paid the fee. (Not personally verified.) For SLC (or CVG/ATL) commuters who never travel on Delta for pleasure, this would be an unfortunate circumstance. But if you travel overseas on Delta a time or two.... well, it's better than buying tickets on Hotwire.

Yep, as a Skywester, if you haven't paid the fee you can't jumpseat out of SLC.

Consider it verified. When they first started charging us, many of our ASA commuters didn't pay and tried to jumpseat to work on ASA. The Delta agents refused to check them in for the jumpseat, because "Delta's Policy" is to use your PPR number for the jumpseat. If you don't pay, your PPR comes up invalid, and you get denied the jumpseat... on your own airline. Nice huh?

So you're saying you have to pay $ to ride your own jumpseat????? Or just pay to get a non-rev seat in the back? Or both. If you have to pay to ride your own jumpseat just don't commute in and tell your CP that you can't afford it...what would they say :) Has alpo chimed in about this situation? I've still got several buds at ASA...I'm sure they're ticked!

Does anyone know when Compass, Mesaba and Pinnacle get DAL pass beni. NWA pass beni are pretty much garbage, I would much rather pay the fee and have my family fly on DAL by themselves than having to babysit my own family.
