So whats so illegal about dropping off your pet at your parents house and going on vacation?

 
Oh no, big No No.

I know a few folks at DFW who drive down to ACT-Waco,Tx and originate their trip there as D1Ts. Less than a hour drive if you live in the southern part of the metroplex.

If Envoy reduces frequencies to accommodate the new banking system, you might have to reboot.

If you're based in a hub and originating there, then you may have access to an early-morning flight that departs the hub before the flights from the spokes arrive, and thus the thru passengers have fewer options than the hub-occupant.   
 
As someone else posted a while back - if you're based in a hub and you don't make the flight, you just go home.    If you're based in a spoke, and you don't get priority in the hub for your connecting flight, then you're stuck in a hub away from home.

There's plenty of ways to buck the system...There are a lot of folks who buy cheap full fare or zed tickets on Southwest from Love Field to IAH/SAT/AUS and originate from those back thru DFW.

I am based at DFW. I have never seen such activity among non-revs. In the first place there is usually no, none, nada, nonrev seats available out of IAH, or SAT, or AUS except at times that don't connect to anything at DFW. Flight attendants who commute from those cities are usually riding the jump seat because it's the only way to get on. And, if you get caught at it, it's still a loss of travel privileges violation of the nonrev travel rules. You must know some people dumb enough to think they can get away with such. The computer is a wonderful thing. You can track all kinds of things with it.

P.S. Southwest does not fly to IAH from DAL. Hasn't since shortly after 9/11. And, about the only transportation from HOU to IAH is by cab. You're looking at $100 (or more) just for a cab. Seems a silly expenditure when you're probably not going to get on the plane anyway.

If somebody buys a full fare ticket on another airline, AA has no way of tracking it. Also, if I fly into DFW on another airline then connect to a AA flight, im still considered a D1T.

Jim I thought you were SLT…?

It's Boston your rudeness, and I really don't care what you all come up with, for its not up to me to catch you or determine what is with in policy . No worries when you have Transcon  service at your base. If you want to fly up from LAX-SFO to DFW/ORD/JFK that's all fine, But what people are reffering to as a " no,no" is flying from LAX-SFO-LAX-HNL to be a thru or MIA-MCO-MIA-GRU.

No you become a lower D3 ,not a lower D3T, because you are on anothers airlines's PNR, and be a interline traveler (Lower D3)

Neither one of these statements make much sense to me... DFWFSC, your not a "T" anything if you don't fly in on AA.. "another airline" don't count as T's.. Are you talking Zed's?
 
And Bob, why would DFWFSC whether he flies out on a D1 or D2 become a D3 or D3T?.... Makes no sense to me..

It is true. It is for when AA doesn't fly into a particular city. Technically trains count too. It is more important when traveling outside of the US. However routings like OAK-LAX on WN changing to AA in LA for LAX-AUS. Would make you a through pax. Most agents know this however some obstinate ones like the one I encountered in DEN do exist. Better to know where in the TRIP book to show them. Another time I used it was when I was dumped into a random city from a diversion. Luckily AA operated from said city to where I was headed. Being a D2T made all the difference. Reasoning is that there are times when it makes sense.

Sorry it made sence to me
 
It sounds like he/she is trying to say, by a zed in HOU and fly through DFW to make a conecting city to become a "T" through passenger, witch would get higher priority. This is not the case, The service on your zed would end once in DFW and wanted to continue to fly AA.
If you listed 24hours before your flight in DFW you can list yourself as D1 but thats it. You would have to have AA fly you into DFW to make a connection to be a D1T.

It's legit and it happens all the time. Hundreds of AA nonrevs do it in Hawaii. You originate on another island into HNL on Hawaiian Air, then show your HA boarding pass to the AA agent at HNL and they will put on the stand by list as a "T". It happens a lot in Seattle in the summer with folks originating in Alaska on Alaska Air and being a thru passenger when they get to SEA.
