My point was that we should have run a reduced schedule yesterday

I know we are a Fee For Dept. Airline.....but c'mon...ill bet money that if our ATW cronies called up Airways and said "Hey we can save you guys some gas by moving a few passengers around and not waste 10000 lbs of fuel per airplane...is that cool?" theyd be all for it....theyd probbaly still be able to pay us for the flight if we "Cancelled" it....it would still be a alot cheaper

My girlfriend got bumped from 3 flights yesterday on american originating in sju . there were more than 30 on standby for each. In the end she got to miami but it's crazy that flights to puerto rico are going to be cut in september.

Just because an airilne is FPD, doesn't mean they are exempt from canceling. Just like our CPA with CAL has protections for BOTH parties, so do FPD's.

My last gig, we had FPD's with both UAL and DAL. The one with DAL stipulated that unless it's weather or something else outside the control of the company, if it doesn't go within 180 minutes of the scheduled or adjusted scheduled go time, we didn't get paid for launching that airplane.

If it went, the company had to eat the cost. Are they going to? More than likely due to the fact that the aircraft is always needed at the other end.

I wouldn't doubt that AWAC's FPD has some kind of similar stipulations.
