Looking at the fleet guarantee it doesn't really cover the 90s. With the drama with delta and the flow through, if the flow cancels and the 76 seat cap drops and delta has to get rid of some would ours be the first?

I thought they just need to take away 6 seats?

The 70 cap won't change just the 76?


Side note has anybody used an ID90 while furloughed?

They use ZED fares now.

Either way you are not eligible to buy them.

Thank you come again.

I've bought a zed fare while on furlough, gave the agent my PPR and it was done. I was under the impression we couldn't too, but I certainly wasn't gonna tell her I was on furlough and didn't have an airline Id with me. Maybe she did some agent vodoo magic and got around the system.

FWIW this was in February, not sure if they changed the system to prevent this from working again.

Super. Why don't you post your exploitation of the rules on the internet so they can fix the loophole?

I tried buying them on the phone and over 10 ticket counters... You got lucky! But I have something going for me that I think others don't get... but I won't be blasting that all over!

While I certainly wouldn't put it past them, I hope they have better things to do than troll pilot web-boards full of whining and moaning about schedules, reserve, commuting, etc. Additionally this occured a while ago and it seems unfortunate for jesse's sake that they have not allowed this to work anymore.

FWIW this is the first time I've brought this up and it was used only after the DAL flight left me and five revenue pax behind on a half full 737 by 5 min due to snow delays.

So why is nobody on here talking about the rumor that Comair was sold to "The Blackstone Group"?

Just wondered since most of the furloughs seem to know A LOT more then those still working. Anyway, it is all over the FA boards and starting to spread around the worker bees pretty fast.

Oh, and the ground school for the furloughs has been finishing up a day early, and in one case, 2 days early. :-)
