Uh no CC. There you go making crap up.

Delta always have more than 50 request. It’s imposible to respond all of them.

Delta’s policy is that flight loads are confidential and not to be given out. Doing so can result in a range of penalties up to and including termination. I suspect this is the policy at most airlines. I think this came about after the LAX debacle where a group was running a operation where they identified flights likely to be oversold but still with a seat or two left to be purchased. They got the loads via employees. They would buy a full fare refundable ticket on those flights and send runners to the gates. They would volunteer to be bumped and rake in the cash and ticket benefits from being bumped. If the runner was not bumped they told the agent thier boss just called and they did not need to travel after all and the ticket was refunded. They raked in a lot of money reselling all the vouchers and tickets.

It was quite lucrative I understand. They had a big motor home parked near LAX they dispatched the runners from. They hit other airlines besides Delta. I will say I have not heard of anyone disciplined for giving a offline non rev loads. I would however PM not post that info. I know of one pilot terminated over non rev issues but he had a long history of problems. They also terminated some res agents who would make fake reservations when they were non reving to block seats in first class to improve their odds of getting a big seat.

I know. A page ago he’s asking about ZED fares, and then first opportunity to bash us again, he jumps. I’m surprised he didn’t find a way to get a wind check shot in there too. Old and Tired.

Lol, the facts fit your hypothesis.

How do you connect 2 separate JS listings made via MiCrew to check a through bag? I imagine the ticket counter could handle in but what about curbside check in?

Anyone have experience doing this?

Thanks Scoop
