Just ride it out and don't sweat it, no matter which way this thing turns, your gonna be okay, unless Comair or any other airline is your world, but I know your smarter than that!
For the record, REAS is not shut down. They closed one city they were handling, CVG, and turned it over to Delta to work. Other than that, they are alive in multiple other locations.

Oh, okay. Didn't know that. But still, why start up a large operation in CVG then shut it down? I still think Delta wasted money on that. But hey, we each have our views.

Well this week ended with no annoucement from Comair. No news is good news- Though I particulary hope the rumors about recall and hiring are true.

Ok gang I've got a question. I just logged onto TravelNet for the first time in 2 years. I was trying to see some flight for next month into MSP and how much it would cost me to fly with the wife since I'm furloughed and it let me create a reservation. So did i get lucky and find a glitch in the system or am i gonna get nailed at the gate with my $50 annual fee and the fare for the wife?

Just pay the $50 bucks and you'll be set. We still fly free in the US.

I believe on furlough everyone except the "employee" has to pay yield fares

It happened to me a while back, when i got to the kiosk to check in it won't let you, so i talked to an agent an she finds the glitch that i didn't pay the 50 bucks. so the moral of the story is, pay there or go home.
