Quick non-rev question. I understand that they don't move up medallion members from the back into first class for Trans-Pac international flights. But what if the back is well oversold while the front is reasonably empty? Would they move anyone up in that case (thereby screwing up a non-revs chance to get on) or would they buy off coach PAX and fly the front empty?

EDIT: I just decided to download the bid award to answer a few of my own questions. Looks like yesterday ATL had 4 GSWC and 1 IAWC. Today some lucky guy got a very easy 2 day GSWC that saved him from a crappy 4 day trip that would've started on xmas. 6 days pay and home for most of xmas for an ATL-JAN 2 day turn.
You can always call ALPA or scheduling. GS are done manually. In under 1 week I've had both a PB day error and an incorrectly assigned trip on reserve error. Both were fixed with a call the scheduling.

As to your question, I have no idea. But a similar question was in my mind with the GSWCs I saw being assigned and this was, If you get a GSWC do you get paid for the entire trip that you were originally scheduled? My reading of the PWA would indicate yes, even the credit. I have a 5 day trip coming up that has 12 hours of block and 14 hours of credit and was concerned that if by chance I do get a GSWC would I get paid the entire trip. I think I would.

Could Delta Lawsuit Have Chilling Effect
Just in case you haven't seen it, here is the article about the Maddog upgrade that went south.

Thanks.
Yes, regular line holder.
Follow up question from your comment "The day three that you originally were going to pay will be paid out at straight pay and credit, and the first two will be double pay/no credit (assuming you are a regular lineholder)."
My time card shows 15:45 for sked time for the trip and pay of 10:30.
G/Slip Pay: 10:30
To me that means 10:30 of GS pay. But your comment makes me wonder if you're saying I am entitled to the third day of straight pay for the scheduled day that was canceled. I'm guessing not and that I am just reading your comment wrong.

The “development” aspect of the program was particularly true for the legacy FMS, for which IS&S was to replace some—but not all—of the functions. “Delta prohibited IS&S from completely replacing the existing FMS because it contains proprietary algorithms that calculate the optimal vertical flight path to minimize fuel consumption,” says IS&S in the complaint. Delta denies that claim as well as IS&S’s assertion that the airline ultimately canceled the program because it “adopted a new fleet-planning strategy” that calls for replacing the MD-88s and MD-90s. “In short, Delta has changed its mind about the retrofit project and come down with a case of buyer’s remorse,” the complaint argues.
That said it looks like DAL wants out of the 88/90. Hmmm. Something something something Embraer 190.

S2B for one eligible pass rider from 12/23-28 and 12/30-1/4
From the memo. Hope this helps...
In order to use the S2B pass your pass rider should:
• List for the flight as they normally would for non-revenue travel
• Select S-2B priority when prompted
• If checking in with a ticket agent or via TravelNet, simply request S-2B priority
