True. But way more options. Most my AA friends ask for a buddy pass on DL because AA is booked and thats the only travel they have..

forgot the Alaska side, and yes it is at the bottom of the list, but you can get ON.

UAL Express you can get on unless a UA doesn't use the vacation pass.

AA. AAC priority. better than a zedfare

DL is way better priority than all of the above.

Thanks for providing realistic data. You're probably not at a weird base. The more likely answer is the wildly inaccurate claims that populate this forum by a dozen or so people. If someone did not know anything about SkyWest and only read this forum, they would think that it is a terrible place to work and the worst regional airline in the world. Granted, I've only been here a short time but I've had a blast out there on trips, crews have been great, and I have not been "screwed" by CS yet. I'm sure they'll eventually do something I don't care for, but overall its been a very good experience so far.

Thank you guys. I’am kinda new to all this travel benefit stuff so grateful for any clarification.

So if a join OO then I will be eligible to travel reduced fare on AA, AU, DL, AS but the best chance to pick most critical for me transatlantic flight is by DL.

Any insights what could be this fare to any Eastern European destination on DL?

This will be true at any 121 airline. Your happiness and contentment is at LEAST 50 pct you.

Free if DL fly's there. You pay 200$ a year annual fee to use DL pass privileges, you get six days of free oceanic travel per year, after you've used six days you pay a fee for oceanic travel.
UA is free in back, a small fee in first class.
AA 100$ annual fee for employee, dependents pay a small fee per leg flown.
You will have the lowest boarding priority, expect to never get a seat in first as they all go to upgrades these days.

Sidebar. I have a situation that came up and need to call out for work tomorrow. First time I’ve ever done this.

Any magic words I need to use to avoid drama?
