Non members were grandfathered, and in this case is probably a management pilot.
Reasons to PDO bump - Trip is going somewhere you want to go (usually involving a deadhead) or management pilot needs to fill squares.

My sponsor told me about these people.

And if you were smart you kind of went out to dinner without them, pretending to sleep when they called your room.
That's how I plan to deal with Fdx pilots who won't join ALPA.
N!

The best answer I ever got to PDO'ing somebody was I could bump them right up to V1 without asking.

Thanx again!
