Most carriers have gotten rid of them. Some people LOVE them (especially the FAs) Great for watching kids during day / shortening life span, etc.
Just flew with a very senior CA who was lamenting the disappearance of Stand-ups. Said he loved them because of the 6 hour credit. He believes the company is no longer willing to pay it, so they abolished them. I can't find any CDOs in the August bid. I wonder if they come and go seasonally, or is his theory correct?
