bob@las-US...simple question. Yes...we will all survive no matter what is decided, but the question is, which would you PREFER. To bank money for potential travel, or pay what was actually traveled?
If you prefer banking...then I guess that's matter of opinion and we'll just agree to disagree.

Simple answer, what ever the company decides, I have no preference. Again this term "bank" is foreign to me, is this just made up? The concept of getting something today and paying for it tomorrow is just another way of saying "Charge me". But I will go off topic for just a minute.AirwAr said:
The bigger picture is this,
Three rumors are heading to in the direction of this,
Rumor # 1 CS change,
Rumor # 2 Travel change,
Rumor # 3 Sick time change,
The best way to control costs is to control the way we make our income. Force employees to work the hours given them and remove the flexibility, then make it harder to get sick time, and force them to use FMLY, witch is unpaid and they can't ding your for that, but to get FMLY, your doctor has to approve it and you have to reapply once a year.
And lastly charging on the spot for travel and no more payroll deduct,
This is all to leave your paycheck whole, for example, a person how only works 50% of his part-time shift and travels, brings home a Zero check, that person is not paying for his/her medical premiums for the year. But that person is enjoying the benefits of it but not contributing to it.
In the end its all about money, and not whats convenient for us but to lower the expenses year to year.
Ran acroos an interesting NR issue last week. An AA flight number operated by SkyWest as US Express on an AA routing. It does not exist in the US non rev system, the NRPT shows the flight and as operated by US Express, but you cannot list for it. Luckily the gate agent was able to list us and check us in. I assume we will have to live with that on those rare cross utilized routes until Oct 17.

Unless the company decides to eliminate all duplicate city pair flying--e.g., DFW-DCA--I hope they make some change to the NRTP to eliminate endless pages of mixed listings. For instance, if you specify DFW-DCA as the route you want, you get DFW-DCA, DFW-IAD, and DFW-BWI listing, and since the maximum number of listings provided is a total of 20, the only way to see flights later in the day is to change the controlling departure time specification--default, 0500. Say you change the departure time specification to 1700. It will give you listings at, after, AND before 1700. You never really know if you are seeing all the listings available or not. Same thing happens on DFW to LGA, JFK, or EWR.
Maybe some sort of toggle switch to allow mixed or "pure" listings; so that if you specify DFW-DCA, it will only give you DFW-DCA results. If I am non-revving to DCA, it is because I want to go to Washington, D.C. or the immediate area--such as, Arlington or Alexandria. I do not consider IAD and BWI as convenient alternates.
