Does anyone know the answer:
Cat is 4-99-4
You have 4 days on call at the EOM. If you P/D the first of the 4, will next months bid force you to have 4 consecutive days on call? Or will the computer recognize the original schedule with the required block of on call (4 days).
Thanks!

PBS will not look at your previous month's award (pre-PD), it will look at the truth data it has at the time.

Question about buddy Pass travel....I have a friend wanting to fly Two short domestic legs on a one way pass next week and the charge was going to be $107!
I though earlier this year there was a big thing on deltanet about them reducing the buddy Pass charges to be more like other carriers. I thought it was suppose to be just taxes on the ticket...in the neighborhood of $30 each way. Can anyone shed any light on this who has done buddy Pass traveling recently for friends? Did I miss something?

It's a lot cheaper to say you have the greatest employees and that safety is your #1 priority than to actually do something about it.
