Gotta know how to work the system. Seniority helps.
You are right, I lied. I forgot I actually did send someone to europe and back with buddy pass. The trip to europe was no problem, however getting to/from ATL was a cluster. This was in early FEB with wide open loads. My parents have traveled some and of course they are S4 as well so they are not completely useless.
