Random question - does Delta put zed fares/jumpseaters in Delta One on international flights if it's available? Going to Japan with my wife next month, trying to manage our expectations

They screw this up almost every time. If you flew the Greenie on an X day Your schedule should show you Pb on the day you flew and PR on the next day ending at 5pm.

I have to call them almost every time to get this corrected...well lately I have used the Crew assist app and asked them to look at it..there is a former schedule supervisor in there that knows the contract back and forth. Ask for Margaret T. She is awesome and can tell you the straight poop.

I'd look at UAL, as a JSer, I've been seated in both FC and their EC. At Delta, I've been put in the center seat and told the S4/buddy pass pax to move out and take the open FC seat. Yes, true. I'm DAL.

You can go back to 52B.” Then they “upgrade” their friend.

I know this because I just had to endure the cackling between those hens in the van recently telling their stories about this very subject. Totally bogus move.

That’s why I said if something like that happens to you, it needs to go to the higher courts for review.

My wife got left in our Podunk town so that some gate agent could put her friend on. I actually FCRd with screenshots of the checked in/seats assigned list and the agent got canned. Impressive.

Buried somewhere on Travelnet it says a JSA boards last (meaning the last seats available, meaning probably the worst seats on the aircraft.)

This includes Delta pilots.
