Interesting though, I thought that NWA traveled on Mesaba as(5's) the same as a Mesaba employee. So IE date of hire. I wonder how that will go now with Delta.
 
Nope that was changed in the last changing.... NWA went on Mesaba as 5 and Mesaba went on Mesaba as 5W (lower priority for nonrev) Mesaba still had first priority on the JS but not for a seat in the back.
 
Well, since ALL the flights are marketed and sold as a Delta flight, I don't see a problem with Delta employees being the top of the priority list. We should be S3 or whatever they call it and the sub-contractors S3B. Don't worry though. They will probably give y'all the same as DAL employees to keep throw you a bone and keep you from whining.

I don't agree. We shouldn't bump a Mesaba non-rev on their own ac and they shouldn't bump us on our own.
 
Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Those are Delta seats and as such Delta employees should go first. I agree on the jumpseat though. The way that they change from Delta to sub contracted flights on a seasonal, and sometimes weekly/daily basis it is the right way. We will see by June 1 though.

You seem like FNWA, if you are use to the cross travel between regionals like NWA and Mesaba, and mainline's travel priority....you will be shocked when you see Comair's priority's. There are not only the same as yours on Comair but the same as yours on Delta ac.....and yes that means all former NWA ac as well.
 
I fully understand that. Hopefully this will be rectified soon. Being that there are 6-8 subs. flying Delta flights; ie. one flight mesaba, the next asa, the next mainline, the next compass, etc. and the seasonal shifting, it only makes sense that Delta employees are a higher priority. This is a Delta flight. No one is buying a ticket on the subs. The jumpseat I have no problem with. Again, these are Delta seats and therefore we should get a higher status. Never understood/nor liked how a 6 month eagle employee(or child for that matter) could have boarding priority over a 35 year AA employee just by checking in earlier.

I'll bet that most if not almost all other NWA employees don't.

But a 8 month DAL pilot should have priority over a 10 year XJ CA on a XJ flight. Nice.
