Completely agree.. however I ran into a problem out of SFO once where I SDC'd w/ a Seat Request and I was denied to be placed on the UG list till I had a "confirmed seat"... or at least that's what the GA told me.. Then a few GM's got my UG (when I was a PM at the time)
Also, I don't believe employees or NetJet crew have any higher priority over paying customers. Also, I thought they were exempted from being members of the SkyMiles program. I am tired of employees getting bumped up in front of customers. They don't pay to fly and have fantastic BE privileges overseas, so I don't feel bad when I get an UG and they have to go in the back.
Which also reminds me of a time in ATL when a GA gave my seat 5C to a crew member by accident, and when I went to board it denied me as my seat was given away. The GA did the right thing, went on to the plane and moved him back as I held the 5C boarding pass..

All Delta employees are aloud to be part of SM and buy tickets on Delta. As shocking as most people will find this, Nov-reving pretty much sucks now days and alot of crew would rather just buy a ticket than try to get into a city like ATL from DFW on an S3.
and fantastic BE privileges? ... does that have to do with domestic flights? And do you really think that most Delta employees can just take a trip to Europe? eh i wish i was so rich that i could stick my head in the sand and only care about myself.

Sometimes employees get one flights before paying PAXs.
