Ok.. got the travelnet to work, with IE. Yuck.
Anyway just booked my mom a flight and it said "payroll deduct $27.00"
Not the normal 200$ credit card payment.. I suggest you guys get on this glitch!

Anyone else notice that when traveling on mainline all the DCI carriers are DOH for S3C including the wholly owned? I got bumped by three CHQ pilots(not jumpseating) in ATL. On the original handouts it said that on mainline flights it was mainline first, then wholly owned, and the contract DCI employees got on. The gate agent told me all DCI carriers are DOH.

Jesse, is your mom on your companion card or as a parent? If she's your companion then it's now payroll deducted vs credit card payment.

Take someone that's been here 5-7 years, on reserve for 3 of them, got real close to upgrading in 2007 and 2008, but is still in the right seat and is now looking at commuting to JFnK to sit reserve.
Now imagine this person has real doubts about his future at Comair (I know, it's a stretch
). They know they can't feed their family any longer at Comair, but on the other hand they know any growth will put them in the left seat and the last 5-7 years will not go to waste.
This guy can take a voluntary furlough (assuming ALPA gives him the option), do something else to pay the bills and watch his kids grow up instead of sitting at JFnK, and if Delta has a momentary lapse of judgment and awards aircraft to Comair, he will be one of the first to go back.
Worst case - Comair continues to shrink at 25% a year until it's gone - at least he hasn't wasted another two years here.
Given the circumstances, that might be the best he can make out of a crappy career decision in 2002/2003.
That guy would be in his right mind to take the voluntary.

I should have been charged a yield fare and was not. Booked my ticket and a confirmation was sent to me with no charge. Also showed me and my companion having unlimited S3Bs and my parent's each having 18/18 S3Bs. Interesting.

I have 15 T/O days left even though I have used 4.. they didn't take one off for coming back from AMS. That was a couple months ago.. It has been long enough to where I think it will not be taken.
