Ditto, 'disgusting' is definitely the choice word.

Writing letters and requesting a second look at a new policy is unprofessional?

OK fine, I am unprofessional.

Next time we are in contract negotiations I won't ask for better pay and better work rules and changes that might ultimately improve the industry. It might be unprofessional.

Your pilot group negotiating better pay from YOUR company is not the same as you guys demanding a privilege from MY company.

And yes, it is a privilege. Not a benefit, not a right, not part of the compensation package. My company can change your travel privileges any time they see fit(as they can with mainline also).

Oh lest you forget, as much as you loathe the thought, we are the same company.

Just ask any passenger on a Comair flight, they think they are on Delta.

I wouldn't let the one child represent the whole family. I doubt they're all like that.

No they are not.

I know, I've met some really humble guys out there willing to help when you most need them.

The truth is one arrogant pilot is one too many.

That is because Delta sold ASA. Prior to that, you would board by DOH on ASA. Now the new-hire ASA guy boards before you. Apparently ASA wasn't the only one to get scrood.

That's funny, I've been a commuter for 14 years. Many times I have given up my reserved jumpseat and took the F/A jumpseat so a regional guy could get to/from work. You label me as a child because I don't support your demand of a change to your privilege? You label me not humble when I've done ANYTHING possible to get commuters on my flight, including standing by the gate agent so we would not leave a regional guy behind.

Just because I voice my opinion and disagreement over your loss of a privilege does not mean I don't try to get EVERY non rev on the aircraft. You have your opinion on this subject, I have mine. Mine seems to be in line with DAL management and most DAL pilots.

Just to toss out some ideas. . .

Complications related to implementation aside, would you (speaking on behalf of "most DAL pilots") support a change to the pass benefits that would enable a commuting pilot or flight attendant of a regional subsidiary to use S3 status?
