Every seat on that plane is owned by Delta. Delta pays for your mx costs. Delta's name is a lot bigger on it than your company's name.

Regionals are a discount workforce supplier to the major. You take a workforce, strip lots of things from them (such as travel benefits), supply them with planes and passengers, and you have a regional.

Regional pilots will never be on par with major pilots... that is what the entire premise of the industry is.

I sure did... I worked for 9E and, contrary to what you think, there was no stark change in viewpoint upon donning the russian sub commander uniform. My viewpoints on pass priority were the same then as now.

As outsourced metal, you should not have priority on the seats in the back, only on the jumpseat.

I highly doubt it wouldn't bother you having a Delta employee take the last seat on a Pinnacle flight, while you were trying to go home (while you were at Pinnacle).

Happened to me plenty of times (NW at that point in time). That's life. I knew the deal when I got into it, and it is logical. Suck it up, cupcake!

For all the whiners that complain they cant go somewhere on Delta (oh yeah, you dont work for Delta), dont forget.......... as an example .......... there were 5 A310/DC-9 flts between DTW -DFW. How many now .... 1 ... sometimes. The rest are Compass, Mesaba, or Pinnacle. Who is in front of who. When I go to see my dad, or he comes up to DTW ........... One guess who is in front of who. Not me or he........ the employee of that airline is.... as it should be.

I dont complain cause I know YOU have a flying job now, and someone who could be a Delta doesnt.

Want mainline benefits ........ get hired by one!

Dude!

Dude are you serious? Who do u work for? There is a good chance u are workin under a CPA. If that is the case then mainline should get on first as their company bought every seat. We need to keep as many perks as we can at mainline while we still can. Without mainline, we don't have jobs. I have no problem with a mainline employee getting a seat over me on my own metal if they own the seats. No more watering down any mainline benefits, as I'd like to work there one day. And please for the love of god let's scope our damn q 400s it's getting ridiculous!

Then you need to take it up with your management. If mainline employees are getting priority over you on your own metal, then it's your management that screwed you. They are the ones who negotiate the pass benefits. SkyWest, to include ASA and XJT, employees get priority on their metal over mainline. Guess this shows just what your managers think of you.
