All furloughees will be on the extended pass program once your furlough starts. All your pass riders will be able to travel, but they all have to pay a yield fare (regardless if parents have free travel days still). You will only be allowed to travel on Delta and DCI at S3B (regardless of any S2's you had left).
You still can nonrev on NWA, just call their reservation line, say you're a delta employee, use your comair number and doh and they'll give you a confirmation number. I used this a few weeks ago when it was gonna be impossible to get through ATL (big suprise

) and I went through MEM instead on NWA.
What about my buddy passes. My mom brother (buddy) and I are supposed to go to Europe 3 weeks after my furlough (within the 30 days) Can we not go? What is the yield fare? ***
