N813CA said:what do parents and family get
Parents get either ID-90 or ID-75, I can't remember for sure but I think it is the latter. When my parents had them, they just never used them. They could usually buy full fare for about the same price on other carriers.
No Buddy Passes.
No S-2s.
No travel net.
Unlimited S3Cs, domestic only (which for Delta is basically the western hemishpere)
S3 on your own airline. Delta employees revert to S3Cs when flying on non-owned DCI carriers.
Three international travel days per year. (Essentially a RT to Europe)
All the above are based on DOH.
Better than nothing, but a far cry from what we currently have. And like someone mentioned, they may very well change in BK. I think it's going to make it harder for a lot of people to get around. Delta employees loose priority on ASA flights and vice versa.
It will be interesting to see how the benefits will work for parents on Skywest/ASA flights. Will they stay under the Delta pass system or does Skywest have a separate, in house pass system? For example, when I was at ACA, we had "blue passes" in addition to the UAL/Delta benefits. Those passes could only be used on company aircraft and afforded you the highest priority for nonreving based on DOH.
If such a system exists, at least our parents could try to get around the U.S. that way. The down side being you would be trying to nonrev on RJs everywhere you would want to go.
In the meantime, I plan to burn as many S2s as I can before they are no more.
