I personally think there is more than a slight chance that the entire 330 instructor cadre could be displaced off the airplane on this bid. Interesting times.

Quick non-rev question.....

For an international flight, will revenue stby passengers designated HK on the airport standby list be bumped for a business class seat in lieu of an S4 on standby. I was under the impression that the policy is to leave the business class seat empty and the HK will get rebooked on the next flight if they don't want to pay to upgrade or have a ticket that even allows them to upgrade by paying or using skymiles. Clear as mud?

Thanks!

Question for the AE experts. If one bids %'s on their current aircraft in hopes of continuing to hold a line, followed by a new category with no restrictions(i.e. ATL 320B @ 75%, MSP 7Er) and then fills out a VD for a new category is it possible to hold that percentage but still be awarded the VD?

In short, if you can hold the lowest % you are requesting on your AE card for your current aircraft, will you hose yourself out of a possible line by submitting a VD? Or will the company say "Ok, so and so wants XX% and will hold that on the conversion date therefore we won't even look at his/her VD/MD cards".....???

Thanks in advance, and hope this makes sense. :o

My trip ends with a deadhead from NRT to DTW and it must be a business class seat per the contract. If I deviate from the scheduled deadhead and fly from NRT to JFK, am I still required to get a business class seat...or am I on my own?
