I actually had a flight attendant (was fairly new) the other day tell me she truly HATES the Legacy Expressjet people. I asked why and she said it's because they caused us to lose all of our ID-90s. She was very passionate about this. Not really sure what the heck the people of LXJT have to do with our pass benefits in the Delta system but okay.
Not sure why management had to burn down our premium interline travel program on the ASA side just to placate XJT...

Not intended to pick on the XJT guys, but we had a pretty awesome ZED system through Delta that was pretty vital for my family. Apparently the XJT side didn't have many (any?) interline agreements, so management developed a "new and improved" ZED system, and when it was announced we lost all of our existing interline travel. At least now we have the luxury of traveling on Estonian Air! Major fail.

I was under the impression if your carrier flies exclusively for DAL your carrier can piggy back on their interline agreements, but if you start flying for another code your airline is on its own for interline agreements. That could be totally wrong but that is how it was explained to me last year.

I'm wondering if the ZED changes coincide with ASA starting UAL express flying.

Funny, I just used our ZED agreements to fly all over Asia and Europe recently on KLM, Cathay and Lufthansa. Perhaps you missed the latest memo, but our agreements cover a lot more than just "Estonian Airlines".

Correct me if I'm wrong...
Skywest/ASA altered a contract for 20 200's, in order to receive 10 900's.
6 of those 200's are now in Pheonix, flown by Skywest pilots.
There is always a way around the contract.

Wrong, only two were ASA aircraft (N885AS and N889AS). The others were SkyWest aircraft. (N407SW, N906SW, N907SW and N468CA)

Completely false. Where do you get your information? 6 ASA 200s were part of the 15 or so SKYW US Airways PHX 200 flying. Our MEC filed a grievance.
