wow. That is really dissappointing to hear. No ZED at all, not even on Skyteam partners?

On the subject of ZED travel, I just had a United buddy fly EWR-LIS on TAP Air Portugal. On United’s myidtravel website, he was able to list for business class and got cleared into a business seat.

One, Delta doesn’t have this ability, right? And two, why don’t we? It can’t be that difficult to negotiate. We’d be paying a higher ZED price for a premium cabin seat.

we don’t have that ability because our management team refuses to permit any other airline employees (other than VS) in our business class. I suggest making your voice heard if you disagree with this choice, as I do.

even Southwest employees can fly United business class. In exchange, Southwest gives United ultra discounted ZED fares.

correct. They won’t even appear on myidtravel at all.

The Travel Department said because Deltamatic software doesn't talk to other airlines software.
write emails to travel department so they may consider making it work

That’s simply not true, DELTA always puts you in the best seat possible. That goes for any non-rev of any airline flying on delta. We have by far the worst ZED agreements of any legacy airline that I know of, and I’m very familiar with most major European, American, and middle eastern carries, ours is the worst !! No way to sugar coat it

Delta absolutely does not upgrade OAL ZED or JS (though crews are good about upgrading JS). Source: I’ve done both, numerous times

All OAL ZED and JS are listed YW only. Gate agents will not assign premium select, first class, or delta one to offline, ever (with the sole exception of Virgin Atlantic employees)

their system can tell when it is a VS employee (S3CV) or a Skyteam employee (S3D) on ZED. I’m not sure I buy that argument.

According to Travelent we board all nonrevs front to back with the single exception of JSA's (jumpseaters.)

Well I used to work for a ME carrier and got upgraded multiple times on Delta while working in the ME, and my friend who has JS international on delta was put in delta one twice this year alone, so not sure if your information is correct.

Somewhat in practice. FC, C+, then generally they will go exit row then steerage. And even in the back they will give isle/window further back and put junior in middle closer. Station dependent (which means as always we make it up as we go).
