domestic partnership doesn't only pertain to homosexuals...what bout a man and women who've been together for a long period of time who aren't legally married?
I know there was a recent article on DLNET regarding employee travel abuse so I wish they would "crack down" on travel abuse. (btw, an interesting article).
I was catching a flight the other day and this older guy walked up to the agent to get his ticket after the agent called for him. When he approached, the agent asked him who he worked for and he replied "Delta". After further questioning (for some reason), he changed his story to say he was a "dependent." His age clearly gave him away so the agent asked "how old are you and are you in school?" To which the guy THEN said he was a registered dependent (in school or something). The agent made a remark about him requiring a "paper coupon" and asked if he paid his fee yet..dunno but he was near the last guy to board the plane.
He was at least in his mid-late 30's.
