Will never give out a buddy pass again not waste time on Delta.com.
I understand our customers frustrations.

Hypothetical scheduling question
Hypothetical: If you have a trip on your schedule, starting with a DH-only day, is the rest required prior to report affected at all?
Example: say your report is 1200 on a DH-only day. Could you WS/GS/PS/SWP or get IA for something releasing on that day, 1159 or earlier?
My best guess: by the FARs, no rest required--the DH-only day has no FDP associated with it. By PWA, maybe--I can't find it, but I seem to recall some language (mostly outdated, given Pt 117) about minimum rest before report. By company policy, probably no-go--as much as RRs get treated as airport standby, CS probably wants you to have 10+ hours prior a DH-only report, so that you have a legal FDP "just in case"....
What say the braintrust?

Is there ever any discussion of improving/changing buddy pass travel? Can something like that be negotiated in the next TA?
