Delta hoses ASA again on pass benefits.

Delta hoses ASA again on pass benefits.
Memo out today. Pass benefits going up to $103.75 a year for individuals and $211.25 a year for families. 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!

Don't forget to renew for 2009 now so you can do it for just $50.

If your parents travel on DAL, it's a win for you...they dropped the yield fares for parents for good. Activation costs an extra $150...your parents save that much in one trip.

So guess what, I pay like other DAL folks do to fly on DAL. Why should ASA fly for free? Very few airlines that I know of are giving their employees free pass travel with no annual fee. As to your final argument about paying for nothing, there is a simple solution to your beef. Just don't non-rev period. Then you won't have to pay any fees. Yep, purchase tickets at cost like the public and you won't have to be bothered by those pesky $103 fees.

So I should trump every ASA person I'm senior to as a DAL employee? I do that to you once and you will rant that ASA employees should be given priority over DAL employees to ride their own carrier. How about being ticked off that since its winter, you're in icing season?

Newsflash: You are not even owned by Delta! You get S3C on us like I get S3C on you. My wife's father went on life support Saturday morning, I couldn't make the 1st flight because I was S3C and went behind other ASA folks whose DOH was junior to me but they were S3. I also got bumped by an ASA jumpseater. While we needed to get home there was not much I could do but wait for the next flight and hope for the best.

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!!!
