new non rev fees on delta

[SSDD]

NOPE! As soon as you check in for a flight after the 12th, you will have to pay the UPGRADE fee to the new amount...

Homer,

The Q&A section states that you don't need to pay till your anniversary. I've seen different interpretations on this, but the release was very specific.

That's one thing I want to make sure I get straight as I have a couple of kids traveling right now.

We get it already. You hate hearing us complain about the pass fees. Got news for you though. Many of us are able to "multi-task" all the ******************** facing us. Furloughs, pass increases, health care rising, etc...

Guess what, that $150 I can spend elsewhere, like on my kids. You can bet that we will probably vote in Medical Coverage for you guys while you are out...but that probably won't be enough for you will it?

Don't fall prey to the typical American attitude to complain about handouts. Anybody want to take a crack at the cost of a business class ticket to CDG? Here, i'll help...between 3500 and 5000 r/t from ATL. So...if you use your Delta bennies once to go to Paris and you get business class (almost guaranteed) you get a $5000 r/t ticket for $200.

Don't want to spend it on travel bennies, fine, but don't sit here and complain about something like this. Seriously. It's the same as the stupid Americans that travel to Europe and complain about the tiny hotel rooms. Are you really going to Paris to sit in your hotel room? Jesus.

Move along.

I've said this before, but what cracks me up is all the people complaining about complainers.

Don't invalidate his feelings! Only an ostrich sticks his head in the ground when he sees a problem, and subsequently gets his arse chewed off! But, I guess some people like getting victimized!

$200 bucks is not a lot of money to travel ANYWHERE in the world on the world's largest airline, especially for free in 1st class. Stop whining and be glad you have a decent paying job in the worst economic period since the great depression.

There are people out there jobless AND people about to be jobless (ACEY80) and people are here whining about $150 bucks.......

$200 is alot more than Free! $200 is alot more than $50! He flies Delta passengers. Why should he pay anything more than their employees?

Can I have $150 then? I do PayPal...you can just shoot it over to me as soon as you have time if its not a big deal.

As soon as he collects enough empty coke cans!

I'm assuming these fees are associated only with family members? Do they actually try to charge you personally to non-rev on delta? (other than that 200 bucks a year) That's bad enough!

Ironic that you chose France as an example in your comment about being passive and taking whatever comes your way.

No its an upfront fee just to be able to list for non rev travel on Delta it was 50 now its a 100 with a max of 200

 

[DGdaPilot]

First class is still free. You can wear flip flops when you non rev.

AA will not let you sit in first ever, even if that is the last seat on the plane.

Ummm, no. You just pay a little more to sit business/first on American.

He might fly Delta passengers, but he does not fly for Delta. He is not equal to Delta pilots. Look at his paycheck. He is paid by someone other than Delta, and he is paid a lot less than a Delta pilot. Don't kid yourself. Flying a regional jet with Delta connection painted on the side is not flying for Delta.

What about seamless service? Seamless service should mean seamless pass benefits!

Yes you are correct--partly. Delta, Inc. makes those decisions. Delta Airlines and Nwa are wholly owned subsidiaries of Delta, Inc.

Equal? What does equal have to do with it? Paid less--what does that have to do with it, not every pilot at Delta makes the same money!

He is paid by Delta, also. It is a direct flow-through cost.

World span employees have the same pass benefits and they don't even own airplanes.

We were owned by Delta back then. And Delta back then didn't have nearly as many international destinations as they do now.

Like I said before, $150 to fly business/first anywhere in the world is a deal to me. You guys should be grateful that we didn't get the fee/segment and/or fee/mile. THAT would have created WWIII if we are having this much complaing over $150...
