Floridagator,

I am not sure how that played out for you, but I sure hope you took that jump seat. If not, in addition to the CP, I would take that to ALPA and pro standards. Might as well get some use out of that money you pay them.

Good call. Minus a short drinking expedition in Ireland after furlough, all my flight benefits have gotten me is a seat in my arm-chair.... which, is due to be repossessed any day now...

Default Someone explain this to me please

I gave a guy a buddy pass to travel from TPA to ELP via ATL. Now I told him that buddy passes suck and not to blame me. Well of course what was 30 empty seats yesterday afternoon is over sold until 2:00 today. So with all his time to kill my buddy logs on to priceline.com and is able to buy a ticket for tomorrow for $30 less than a buddy pass.

Why is Delta charging more for standby than an actual ticket?

Enemy passes are worthless for domestic flying. I would see some value if used for an international flight and your buddy is able to get a seat upfront. I hope your buddy does not screw up with Whisky to get back at youJ

Well it not like they can take her all apart of anything.

Besides, aren't you supposed to be getting ready for a boat ride and some water skiing?

Thankyou for the responses to my Jumpseat red alert. I appreciate the feedback and info. This forum is an excellent way to distribute information quickly or provides an adequate space for the frequent much needed venting. To answer the earlier question.... yes, I rode the jumpseat to work and the gate agents were wonderfully helpfull and knowledgeable as to the Jumpseat prioritization. I simply felt it necessary to snuff out this Bull before simple gossip started to become regarded as fact.

I was also shocked and suffered a sever case of second-hand-embarrassment as to the verbal accosting the gate agents took from the mesa/freedom folks. I was pretty sure that mistreatment or harassment of a gate agent could easily result in termination of pass travel privledges.

Another quick question..... Does anyone have a list of all of Comairs 70 or 90 seaters? N numbers or seriel numbers or both?

Thanks

Th only thing that saved me today was reduced rest in Raleigh last night. I had about 2 hours they could have used me. Thank god for the delays yesterday. Time for another beer at the ol' Lefferts Inn. I am more ticked they won't release the furlough date.

Wish it was August 1st!
