to the best of my knowledge the reason that zed is different is because of the JV stuff.

so my mistake - we don’t have any upgrade agreements *for sure* for airlines we don’t share code or participate in JV

JetBlue can purchase a biz-zed on UA.

At QX/AS, we could list business on AA (due to OneWorld), United/Lufthansa/Austrian as well via ZED. I never understood why we don't have that option here at DL, but I imagine it's because we'd not offer them the same ability.

What does a ZED on Delta look like? I thought they were S4, but isn't that also a buddy?

Edit, looks like both buddy and ZED are S4, but ZEDs specifically aren't upgradable. On the unlikely chance I read that right.

Also pretty sure they are S4, but since the DOH is listed as the day of checkin, they are behind all the Buddy passers as well, translation....GOOD LUCK!

United has 25+ airlines that they can do business ZED on including most alliance carriers plus some others.

If I remember right, they get Aeromexico and we don’t, even though we have a JV with them. DL doesn’t want to allow OAL into D1.

They also get 8 companion ZED passes per year that can be given to anyone to travel with the employee on star alliance carriers.

Concerning the 1:1 pay y’all are getting for duty days over 10 hours, anyone willing to share how this has or hasn’t changed your trips for better or worse, and how much pay out of this you’re seeing per month on average?

AA & APA left it as a “we’ll look into that” sort of thing. So I’m expecting nothing, but very curious. *eye roll*

Thanks
