New guy question, I've looked at the travelnet guides and rules and can't find an answer. I know if my parents are traveling with me and I'm on an S3 pass, I can have them upgraded to S3 at the airport. However, can they do that if they are traveling with my wife and kids? No clear answer, but it is implied that you can only do this if the employee is present.

Anybody tried this?

Has to be an active employee traveling with them to upgrade to S-3.

Look at it this way, we'll lose a billion or so in hedges but gain several billion in savings on the spot fuel prices we're paying now. Sounds like cheap insurance to me. Kinda what hedging is all about I'd say. J Graham said for every penny fuel prices change, its a 40 million difference. I think we're paying about $1.30 less a gallon than last November, which equates to about 5 billion less annually! And it has nothing to do with sick leave abuse(but you already knew that)
Does everything have to be so negative and confrontational? And no, I'm not a company shill, just tired of the same old rhetoric. Think I'll leave again

Sometimes it helps to remember why we got into this business.

Great video! I am spoiled and still get some vitam g flying T-6s with my Navy reserve. I need to rent an aerobatic plane and show my three daughters (8,4,2) how awesome aviation really is.
