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...

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.....

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?

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.
