Default 9E Pass Travel Program Update

The message regards the latest pass travel updates for Pinnacle/Colgan, but the only difference noticed is "Corp" now gets both sides of travel on 9E and UAL.

If you work for Pinnacle Airlines, INC., and support DL, you are are eligible for Delta pass travel.

If you work for Colgan Air, Inc., and support United, you are eligible for United pass travel.

If you work for Pinnacle Airlines Corp., you are eligible for the Delta AND United pass travel programs, along with a "2nd friend" to add to your flying benefits.

Was hoping some major announcement like all active employees board before retirees... oh, well...

Active Pinnacle Airlines employees do board before Pinnacle retirees on Pinnacle flights, right?

incorrect. all delta retirees travel as s3b on delta connection and mainline flights. on pinnacle flights we travel as s3. on mainline we travel as s3c. so on pinnacle flights our s3 is above s3b. on mainline flights our s3c is below s3b so they get priority. active mainline employees travel as s3 on both connection and mainline flights. so their s3 gets priority over our s3c on mainline but their priority is the same as ours, s3, on pinnacle flights. at that point it is straight date of hire.

I can't wait til the day that you are retired from mainline and a 2 year regional guy (insert hair gel skateboard frosted tips ipod joke here)bumps you on mainline after you give 30 plus years of your life to mainline....

If it is it ain't gonna be Pinnacle. Like airsupport noted, your guys' retirees or active come before us. And I'll tell you even more than that... your buddy passes come before my **parents** (as of the latest priority change). How do you like that? Would it also surprise you that I have no buddy passes at all to give while your guys' active give them to half the city creating flights with more buddy pass pax than rev pax?

Let's remind ourselves who are the ones that signed and allowed ALPA and mainline create the beast called the regional.

Also, let's not forget whose kid that is with the spiked hair gel and ipod that got a regional job with 200 hours.

Actually that's not 100% true, Buddy passes and Pinnacle parents are both S4. It really comes down to hire date /date of travel. What you are saying is like one Delta employee comes before another Delta employee. That's true if they have an earlier hire date. I can see where you think buddy pass comes before our parents since our parents use the date of travel as the "hire date" and not our actually hire date that was used in the past.

If mainline has it so much better, just get a job at mainline.
