There is no entitlement for a spouse trying to go with a spouse on a holiday to bump a pilot trying to get to/from work on a holiday when the pilot is even willing to burn an S2 to do so. In that case, the pilot using an S2 should absolutely go ahead of the spouse who isn't even willing or able to (because they already used them all up or want to save them for something else).
Sucks. Thanks to our great reroute rules, can't even buy a spouse a ticket because you might not even be where you're supposed to.

Of course the senior spouse could burn an S2 and still bump that guy going to work... Your argument really doesn't make much sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm with you in principle but I also agree the S2B just doesn't buy you much. In my contract survey I asked to trade our S2s for some quantity of PS tickets, think I asked for 3. I'm a plans kind of guy, playing nonrev roulette just isn't my style. It would be nice to plan a vacation with free airfare instead of waiting until I'm on the plane to book the hotel, car, etc, etc...

And speaking of nonrev roulette, I'm going to try and get 5 to TLV in February. I know El-Al is a great backup with that great big 747 they fly every day. Any gotchas I need to be aware of coming or going?

I thought our FOM used to have pretty clear guidance about animals with hooves and birds not qualifying as emotional support animals. Now there's just some vague reference to having ACS verify requirements which helps me not one iota. They also clearly added guidance that requires we deny boarding to passengers who appear intoxicated. Pretty sure it was always in the FARs, but now it is specified in the FOM as of the 7 October update.

I get the frustration over removal of useful information (emotional support animals) but why does it matter if they added guidance on drunk pax? It hasn’t changed a requirement.

A passenger with hooves is OK, but his red pitchfork must be checked baggage.

I'll have a twist of lemon, too!

Glad somebody got the reference

I thought so too, or maybe that was Leviticus.
