Has anybody ever seen this? I've got my brother on a buddy pass from SFO to NRT tomorrow. The flight's looking open, but the business class seats have some odd numbers. Here it is...
It shows 26 available, but only authorized to 4. What's up with that? Could it be weight restricted? I've never seen this before on a flight. The authorized seats are usually higher than the available. Any ideas?

Odd.... So they block the business elite seats out ahead of time for deadheaders? Never seen that before. I checked the Airport Standby List and there's only one PSUP so far. At least he'll get a seat. He's a seasoned buddy pass user, so he's ready for anything! Thanks!

If you say so Carl. Even though it was communicated by D-ALPA that both this opener, and the opener they used for the C2K contract were "broadbased and conceptual" in nature. Here is the exact wording from the "Negotiator's Notepad", dated March 13th, 2012.
"Like most openers (including the Delta pilots’ opener for C2K), it is broadbased and conceptual in nature."
Yes, and your point? In my example I illustrated the anger of my friend and his opinion of the "weak opener". He had failed to read the fact that D-ALPA stated it was "broadbased and conceptual in nature." What am I missing? Or what are you not understanding about him "not reading the Negotiator's Notepad" before going off about how weak of an opener it was?
That's awesome Carl!!
Your words, not mine. THEY NEVER ONCE TOLD US............UNTIL THEY TOLD US! Do you read what drivel you write?
Bacon Bits, is that you?
Yes Carl, of course they were conspiring to tell you there wouldn't be an opener, all the while planning on releasing a "phony" opener to the members. Just for the record, the communication from D-ALPA of not seeing the opener, came from the C20 Chairman, not the MEC. Did you ever see comm's from the MEC that the opener wouldn't be released? (Don't think so.)
Riiiiiiight!! (Again, your words in translation.) THEY NEVER TOLD US IT'D BE A CONCEPTUAL, BROADBASED OPENER, UNTIL THEY TOLD US!!
DANG THEM D-ALPA VOLUNTEERS!! DANG THEM TO HECK FOR NOT GIVING US A "CARL SPACKLER MINIMUM ONE-WEEK NOTICE" PRIOR TO COMMUNICATING THE COMMUNICATION WITH US!!
Quite confident I didn't, but feel free to PM me and I'll give you my personal email address and phone number. I'm also quite confident you're not man enough, just like 1S1Engine wasn't man enough to talk in person about a WN/FL debate, but you keep talking your "big game" behind a keyboard there Carl, and I'll actually maintain my integrity by standing behind facts.

They are saying 100 jets were damaged in DFW today. Crazy.

And scope is absolute. It is what every other thing in the contract is based on. It isn't independant; everything else is dependant on it.

I do agree though that we should not stomp our feet demanding restoration or a Caddilac per month or any other emotional based tactic in front of the NMB because regardless of the percentages or dollars involved, it just comes across as unreasonable. Besides there's no need to go that route when there's profitable LCC parity sitting half a concourse away in our biggest hub all while we make more revenue per pilot than they do.
And parity means scope as well as average W-2's and days off for small narrowbody pilots. That evil, company loving NMB everyone likes to point to sure does have an affinity for profitable airline parity.
