Thread: You Scratch our Back, We'll Scratch Yours

I, for one, have conveniently forgot that little tidbit of info and cleared SkyTeam employees into first class when available...I think it is a stupid contractual rule that bigwigs that fly positive space first class everywhere they go thought up...[/b]

Generally the policy is not negotiated by bigwigs that fly pos space F class. More than likely one or more of your Skyteam parters have a policy that do not allow their own employees to fly in the premium cabin and, therefore, could not agree to accept yours in theri F/J class. Since staff travel agreements are either reciprocal or, as is the case with some of the alliances, multilateral, what&#39;s good for one is good for all. Economy class was probably the common denominator.

I&#39;m sure DL employees would not find it too pleasing if your head office negotiated an agreement that allowed employees of XX in any cabin of a DL flight, while DL employees were limited to economy on the flights of XX.
