Delta and United Flight Priviledges rumors

[Erlanger]

Anyone from a Delta Connection carrier or United Express carrier hear or know anything about some changes that are suppose to happen the first of the year, concerning the ability to non-rev on mainline Delta and/or United. Hearing some grumblings, like that they may only allow jumpseating and that all pass priviledges will be terminated for everyone; family and all.

Any truth to these rumors?

the rumour I heard was that we'd be able to issue buddy passes on mainline Delta.

Due to increased hiring and more crews, no more travel bennies on mainline United and buddy pass only on Delta.

How are these two things connected?

Isn't that in our contract

Isn't that in our contract that we have flight benefits on the carriers that we fly on?
