I was shocked - there were at least a few other diamonds on the list after me, followed by other medallions. Is this practice permissible? I don't know if the DM's who weren't upgraded saw her get on and take the seat, but if it were me, I'd have said something. But it got me wondering, perhaps its their policy. Anyone know?
Oye. There could be a number of reasons. Two of which:

1.) The employee was a DM.
2.) The employee was on paid business where Delta permitted BE travel for that segment.
