Actually, the best solution would be to make tickets non-refundable... for ANY reason. People wouldn't double book.. they'd show up when they were supposed to.. etc etc etc.... I was going from DFW to SLC years ago on a L-1011. (Big 3 engine airplane for all you young guys) It was overbooked by 65 people..... SIXTY FIVE... the gate agent told me.. don't worry.. you'll get on. I thought... the water here in Tejas is a little wierd.. but OK.. I never leave until the airplane pushes... and in the case of the L10, untill you see smoke coming out of all 3 engines... Guess what... I was in 1st class... the agent said that that flight was notorious for no shows... double booking.. etc... Now how much does THAT cost the airlines? But that's right.. those greedy airlines are not allowed to make a profit I guess...

T.........agree completely! We sell big blocks of tickets to our corporate customers which they use or turn back all the time. Brand X always drove me crazy (yes short drive) when they oversold the crap out of flights over holidays. People actually use their tickets over holidays........

I hate to say it, but I've found that our "friends" at SWA seem to be real accurate. If they are selling tickets on their website, I get on. If not, I'm in the jumpseat. Better database? Don't know.....

Don't know, but after being on the road 20 days with one day off reserve the wife said "you are NOT going to the airport" handed me a kid with a pooppy diaper and passed out.

If anyone goes, can we get the bullet points on APC? ACL is also out of position for the crew room debrief.

With bids coming up, inquiring minds want to know. Thinking of bailing out of current equipment.

Yes they should award a GS without conflict before they award one with a conflict. Would the trip they gave out as a conflict have caused a conflict on your schedule if awarded?

I know they are still digging out in ATL, but any word on the AE?

The AE is probably the last of their concerns right now.

Yeah I'd say the AE is on indefinite hold until we get through these IROPS. The east coast got hammered AGAIN. It's going to take a while to get through this.

Profit Sharing anymore? Words...rumors...?

Wait until the financial results are published on the 20th.

I am sure it is in this thread somewhere, but.. Just finished my quarterly cq, got my confirmation #, put it into icrew is there anything else? Do I need to print something or just keep my conf. #. Thanks
