My 26-year-old stepson wants to travel on a buddy pass as he is no longer able to ride as a regular pass rider. What is the difference/ meaning of " yield fare ticket" and " buddy pass charges" when looking up fares?
Yield Fare = What he/ you will pay if he travels with you. |

My understanding is he had 15 years and built his time up on the outside while working there. I can't remember the full story. He was in a bad plane crash. But I wish you could have seen those FAs eyes pop. I'm surprised after all of this time they didn't know him.
I've flown with one Pan Am pilot on the 717, he was hired in his early 20s and went to the panel on the 747s. He is a young guy, or very young looking. Those are some interesting stories too. It's funny how from the outside there was nothing more majestic than Pan Am 747s, but having talked to the pilots they say it was the reason they didn't furloughed and didn't hire for so long. |
There appears to be a fair amount of 717 flying out of LAX this summer. LAS, PDX, SFO all have several flights per day. I'm not seeing any flights to these airports from anywhere else on the 717. ... in other words, how do they plan to get the AC and crews there from the current bases unless they are either A. deadheading or B. Opening a new category...

They gonna run the 717 DTW-MCI-SLC-LAX. I think its already in travelnet.

Correction. The 717 goes DTW-MCI-SLC-LAS-LAX. It is all in Travelnet.

Sounds much easier than opening an LAX 717 base. Wouldn't want to do that. Might actually create movement out here. I say that half-jokingly. I know the DTW guys need the flying and its more complicated than it seems. Would be nice to have some movement for the 15-20 year FOs out here though without a transcon commute.
As a 15 year LAX based FO I agree 100%. :D Scoop |

If this is for real then they'll have to put out a bid pretty soon. Or deadhead crews and ferry jets in to cover it. |
