They also need to check the contract carrier for the routes they commonly fly. You (or they) can do this online at

Note if there is not a contract carrier for their routing then they can request DL; however, it will not likely be a YCA fare.
If DL is listed as the contract carrier, that's who their ticket will be with and it will be in KCA or higher, if not YCA.
I'm based out of PNS
