We need to start from scratch on the whole boarding priority system. The fact that an employee who has been with the company for 6 months working on the ramp goes ahead of a person who gave 30 years of service to the company and is retired is completely ridiculous.

Years of service = boarding priority. PERIOD.

Maybe he is positive space on a DH? But fire away and cut off the jumpseat tiger.

Gotta agree.............too many already ahead of active employees. Hell, just get on our BOD and you don't even have to work here to bump anyone out of first class........................

You're okay with that?

If there is someone who has given 25 years of service to the company ahead of them, then hell yes.

Can you name an industry/job where the retirement benefits/perks are better than an active employee? I can't.

iahflyr - I wouldn't waste much time with these guys. You have got to understand that they have always looked out for themselves - it's the culture. No respect for anything! I bet a few would take Social Security away from their own parents if they thought it would save them a buck. Let 'em rant on how good it was to not give their retirees a priority - I think CAL retirees even had to pay even the guys with more that 25 years.
