    Default S4 Boarding Priority

    I am retired from Expressjet (DL Conx) and my boarding priority is S4. I was under the impression we would board with S3CR priority instead of S4?

    Please review below:
    S3B - EV/OO/RP/S5/XE/9E/OH ON DL MAINLINE FLTS DL/OH
    S3CR -DL PARENT/NONDEP CHILDREN/FURLOUGH EMP/RETIREES TRAVEL ON EV/OO/RP/S5/ XE/9E/OH. So if S3CR is you final answer, YOU ARE CORRECT!

    Everytime I get a boarding pass it always reflects S4 for(EV and also 00 retirees) but S3CR for OH retirees so who knows. I do know it is much more difficult for a DL Conx (EV) to get a seat competing with higher seniority Buddy Passes. Definitely a tough situation for us EV retirees but guess that is the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    You know the routine. Fly 3rd week of January - March (wide open), then 3rd week of September through 1st week November. That's the only time I issue passes. Any other time please see Priceline.com.

    Thanks for the response. It is confusing, Oh well will take whatever it comes out to be and looks like S4. Guess the computer at DL is just set up that way. Thanks again

    S3B is for ASA retirees travelling on ASA metal, and for DL retirees travelling on DL metal. For ASA retirees travelling on DL and DL retirees travelling on ASA, the priority is S3CR. Only Buddy Passes and OAL are S4.

    When we checked in nonrevs, we used to have to assign them a priority. Typing in S3 would automatically change them to S3B/CR. But if you typed in S4, they were S4.

    How many times has this happened? It seems like the agents at checkin don't know your proper priority, which is not at all surprising judging by the experiences I had as a nonrev

    Default S4 Boarding Priority

    Thanks ColoAVS19 for the info. This has happened many times and some of the agents at check in also state that I should not be S4. Some agents have tried to change my priority to S3CR but the computer only will print out a boarding priority of S4. Appears maybe there is a glitch in the computer system.

    I would contact whatever pass travel office you can - they should be able to fix it for you.
