Thread: Upgrade on Delta

I hate to tell you this but DL FA's should not be giving even Delta employees seats up front when flying on FF tkts.

I know some DL FA's that do all they can for fellow DL employees and OAL employees. Why not? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Why not, you ask?
Well, I am using my skymiles to purchase a ticket in coach for Xmiles. Or I'm using 2X miles to purchase one in business class.
WHY, INDEED, should the other person be allowed to sit next to me, when I PAID for my seat with twice as many miles?? This is a NO-NO.
I earned those miles and in sepnding twice as many, I earned that seat.
Would I expect to get upgraded to BUSiness class on Greyhound, oops, I mean SouthWest when I fly to Europe--oops, they don't FLY there...
Silly me!

Yes, mrs767er needs to calm down and take a deep breath. As a non-rev, I'm sure I've been next to a full fare pax. What am I'm suppose to do?!?! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
PagoFlyer--would you feel the same if you used hard-earned miles--this issue is regarding frequent flyer award seats--maybe you didn't understand--that's what my objection is about. It's not a paid revenue ticket.
The inequity is that soemone who is an airline employee (A) uses FF miles for coach seat. Employee B cannot get coach seat on FF miles so they have to use DOUBLE miles. Empl A expects to be upgraded to sit next to Empl B.
It is a no-no and against policy. Same for any empl being able to buy/confirm seat, then canceling and using pass travel instead, if loads look good.
It's cheating and yes, I am angry that you and SWA LUV to FLY (sorry, however, that I mistook you for a South West employee---DOH!My error.)thinks that's ok. It isn't.
This is a forum and I am entitled to my opinion. I said nothing deragatory about either of you other than your actions and/or sugeestions. You are entitled to your opinion, too. I'm glad you responded. Your response shows your maturity. Thanks again.

PS--Pago Flyer--you asked--what are you supposed to do? If you're a Delta empoyee, you keep quiet about your seat, take a deep breath and be grateful you have a seat (we all know how hard it is to non-rev!)and a job paid for by the revenue pax next to you.
