I&#39;m a 9E parent, with some of DL ZED experience, primarily JFK-NCE-JFK, and once BDL-LAX (when that was still available). My experience has been that DL has always tried to make room up front for us when possible. Out of about 10 flts, I&#39;d guess we&#39;ve lucked out maybe 4 times. Good luck to you, let us know how it went, and bon voyage. Btw, I&#39;m curious how thngs will be after the NW-DL merge..looks like we may get LESS chance of upgrading on what are now DL flts, because NW almost never upgrades us. Can&#39;t complain, though, non-rev is still a wonderful privelege no matter what class.[/b]
Thanks for the info. 9E employee here, too. I have heard that DL tries to accomodate non-rev&#39;s but just want to make sure. As of now, NWA has plenty of seats open so I&#39;ll likely go ahead and fly WBC on the 747 and get a backup ZED ticket from ICN-ATL on KE (for some reason DL flies there non-stop but can&#39;t find the return back on DL non-stop)
As for the merger, good question. I just hope we have a job (ramper, here!). Will be interesting. Yeah, my experiences have been NWA will not upgrade employees without paying the appropriate fare. You&#39;re right...non-rev&#39;ing is great on NWA!
