You don't have to accompany them, right? My 25yr. old daughter travels alone on yield fares all the time.

I thought the Yield Fare is for your family members (kids) who have aged out of their normal (S3 or S2) passes?

The Yield fares are cheaper than the buddy passes, and come up as S3B, vs. S4 for the buddy pass.

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. 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%.

Our day will come. I hope. In the meantime we're enjoying a crystal clear 70 deg morning on Superbowl Sunday. Oops, that might not do much for our seniority. Did I mention the cost of living is through the roof?

I see that now. However, there are 16 departures per day so far out of LAX. Can't do that with one plane and one crew.

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.

In September every other flight on the LAX-SFO shuttle is a 717, that is in travelnet also.

Man...me too! My son has been traveling on the yield fare without us for years! Hope I've been doing it correctly.
