The two future winners of the Charles Darwin Award should have known better.

I don't know about you, but I still have common sense! I'd like to think I raised my 3 kids with it as well.

Two jackasses who are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame and a nice little payday who don't realize how dumb they really are. I feel bad for whoever gave them the passes and hope they're not in too much hot water for having morons for friends.

And that's why my buddy passes used to go right in the garbage. There pretty much useless nowadays with all the full flights and all.

Unbelievable. What I want to know is how in the heck did buddy passes get first class? Everytime I try and nonrev there are like 20+ people on the upgrade list and thats just on an RJ! I remember a time where people actually dressed up to fly. There is no dress code on a lot of airlines for non revs and it really shows. Sometimes buddy passes are more expensive than a ticket anyways . Between how much they cost and ful full flights they are hardly even worth having.
I remember on the news last summer this family got stuck at an airport somewhere for like 3 days. The people were complaning about being stuck and out of money. They claimed they "didn't" know the seats wereon standby. I believe it was on Jetblue. The way the news media spun the story it made JetBlue look really bad and someone in public actually bought them tickets. It is amazing how little the media knows about the airline business. Stories like this are why I act like David Spade in the capital one commercials. The answer is always NO.
