ASA flight benefits about to change!

Just saw that changes are coming to ASA pass travel on Delta Net, although the link doesn't work!!!! Argh I guess we knew this was coming...goodluck to all the FA's that will leave. Is this a link to getting a TA...dunno...pulling straws although the timing is interesting.

Do you recall what the title of the link said. If they change it that be the beginiing of the end for many who still commute.

It was on the side of the homepage under "Top News." It said something like: Changes to come on ASA travel. Something to that effect...I clicked on the link a couple times but it didn't work, then it was removed and I haven't seen it since.

It was a grayed-out link.

I saw the link also and now it is gone but if you type ASA in the search line above then you will see this...

Memo to Delta Employees from Rob Kight, Delta VP of Compensation, Benefits & Services

Re: Change to boarding priority on ASA flights

This month marks the two-year anniversary of Delta’s sale of ASA to SkyWest Inc. The transaction was a critical component of Delta’s transformation helping us achieve important financial objectives. However, a transaction of this magnitude is not completed overnight and there were many details to sort out and finalize over time.

After months of negotiations between our companies, this week, Delta signed a number of agreements with SkyWest Airlines and ASA finalizing several outstanding post-sale items, including pass travel for Delta employees on ASA aircraft and pass travel for ASA employees on Delta mainline aircraft. Effective Dec. 1, 2007, Delta employees will have a boarding priority of S3C on ASA aircraft and similarly ASA employees will travel S3C on Delta mainline aircraft. Currently, both Delta and ASA employees can use S2 and S3 priorities on both Delta mainline and ASA aircraft. These changes apply only to pleasure travel. Company business travel will not be impacted.​

We know that these changes may impact some Delta employees that commute or travel frequently to cities served by ASA. However, this approach is consistent with the way we handle travel with SkyWest and most of our other Delta Connection partners. In fact, throughout the industry, most mainline carriers use this approach with their respective regional airline partners. Overall we feel this solution does the best job of protecting the ability of Delta employees to access the Delta mainline system while still providing access to an important part of our system. Operational leaders in In-Flight, Flight Operations, and Airport Customer Service will provide further details about these changes in division-specific communications over the several days. In addition, you can find FAQs and other helpful information on the Pass Travel site on DeltaNet.

Seems like ASA mgt is doing a lot of mutually "agreeable" negotiations. Yet none of it benefits the pilots/employees.
