I think certain pilots who support our airtran operations may have the option of taking airtran bennies but only if they give up UA and DL. Something like that.

Everyone in the company is eligible for UA benefits, provided they pay the opt-in fee every year. As for AirTran; HDQ, DEN & ORD flight crews, MKE & ORD MX employees all have the choice to opt in to AirTran. If they choose to opt in to AirTran, they forfeit ALL DAL travel benefits but they still retain UAL. Now, an employee who opted in for AirTran can still travel on DAL but only for company purposes.

Recap:
United: Everyone gets
DL: Everyone gets
AirTran: Only certain people get the option, but they MUST forfeit ALL DAL travel privileges, however they do retain their UAL privileges.
