Hi Guys,

I'm flying with my family on purchased tickets to MCO in January. Can I flash my employee ID to have them waive bag fees? Thx. I know if we non-rev we don't pay for bags.

Thx.

Go for it, the worse they can say is no.

Get the Amex card (now fee free for employees) and at least one bag is free.

If you bought Fly Confirmed for Less, they're free.

I've had them waive the fees before. Technically they're supposed to charge you. I usually hate waving the id but it's worked. Both times they were very nice and comped the bags, no problem.

LGA to EWR

What's the best way for a commuter to get from LGA to EWR?

I'm thinking public bus/train? I've also heard tale of a FA shuttle.

You can do the Q-runner if it's not full of F/A's. They have priority.

So, i am at a loss and maybe someone can help me get some SA back. I am on reserve, and just got assigned a 3-day trip that was originally an ATL trip. However there was another guy on the list that is senior to me but, he is in group 1 whilst i am in group 2. He has 5 days avail and i have 16. why would i get the trip and not him?
i try and read the PWA and its like a foreign language. i promise have tried to read section 23 N & O. The follow on question is.... can i call scheduling and politly say i am new and stupid and to please edumacate me without ****ing anyone off and getting fired before i get off probation? i just don't really get how they award reserve and I am too stupid to understand the PWA. Thanks Dudes!
