Default Delta J/S classification

I listed for a flight on Delta mainline with my PPR number. Under the JS class it shows. "H3" I thought Delta connection was H2. what are you other Delta connection guys showing?

When you listed, did you not have an option of listing H2?

I didn't know I had the option. I figured based on the PPR number the computer knows where to put me. I didnt know about the classification til the other day

Are you not a delta connection pilot ? Either way welcome to the world of confusion. And most gate agents actually don't know either !

It was much more easier when we were flying for NWA.

When I checked in at a kiosk I had a choice of selecting which priority I wanted. Of course I selected the one that gave me a higher priority. I did not realize we only could use that higher code a few times a year and I needed to save those for my other half who is a commuting 00 pilot.

I'm not talking about non rev listing. I'm talking about listing for the J/S which is done at the gate. You're getting the 2 mixed up.

If you work for a DCI you are an H2. Currently there's only 1 - H1 (Comair). All DCI's are H2 and OAL's are H3's. As I understand it this mistake has been brought to Delta's attention and is being worked on. When you list tell the Gate agent you are an H2 or DCI. Otherwise a UAL, FedEx, UPS, JB, VA, etc pilot with an earlier TOC will get the jump over you.

Are you seeing H3 at Skywest too? Today mine happens to show H3 as a Pinnacle pilot. I brought this up to the gate agent, and she said she can't change it. The prioroty is based on the PPR number.
