Unless you work for DL, it's really none of your business. None of these people take anything away from a fare paying passenger since they are almost the very last priority on the stand by list. I never understand how any of you people feel like it's your place to say what kind of benefits airline employees do or do not deserve. We all work hard for these benefits. In an industry where the pay starts out rather low, liberal travel benefits is the big draw for many people. Stick to worrying about your own company and what kind of benefits YOU do or do not deserve and let the DL employees worry about their benefits.
