Word to the wise: If a Delta ticket agent swears for 10 minutes that "Fly for Less" tickets are refundable (Fly for EVEN Less are not per the webpage, but Fly for Less are supposed to be), and you buy some as a backup for your family vacation because Delta doesn't give you even one PS for family vacation a year, and you try to cancel them 3 day early to get your $$ back as promised...
... you're going to get seriously bent over.
And when they decide to charge you the "change fee" of $150/ticket instead of the cancel fee they promised would apply if $29 per ticket, and just give you a credit towards some future flight instead of the actual refund as promised, don't even THINK about questioning them.
And if you even TRY to discuss it and bring up the fare rules and pamphlets linked to the Fly for Less page to support that you should get your $1900 back as promised when you bought the "refundable" tickets, which you wisely printed to be sure you could get the promised refund, you're going to get threatened with having your Non-rev privileges being revoked.
Last time I EVER try to fly on Delta for $$, or try to give them my business. That 20% "savings" as an employee was the most expensive ticket I never used in my life, and getting threatened by a ticket agent to shut up and take the loss was just unbelievable. NOT a huge fan of my company just now.

You can call the 800-221-1212 number to speak with a refund specialist also.
FYI, they get bombarded with p1ssed off people all day long, so being friendly can really make their day.

....Picture yourself running a company. You hire a employee and pay him a salary. Right after you hire him he gets a big bull horn and shots out to everyone who will listen what a horrible company you run yet still comes to work every day. How would you handle that employee?
Just to be clear:
In the first post, are you suggesting that Bar should be concerned about the future of his job?
In the second post, are you suggesting Bar should quit?

Avoid APC for a proper contractual knowledge base.
This is not a slight to all the smart people on here, it is a protection for any pilot who wants to know answers to real questions, the CPO isn't going to buy your "but a guy on APC said I could do that" excuse.

Shiznit,
....but it is nice to come on here and get a quick reply. It took over a week to get a call back from ALPA just to say they were looking into my problem. The good news is most apc'ers were right and I will be getting some extra money. It's nice to get a call from ALPA saying the company violated xyz and we are now working on getting premium pay for their violation. Thanks mystery ALPA dude!
