Dead Heading on The New American

[flybynite]

It has come to my attention the the AA F/A's do not have a Must Ride status when DH'ing back from training on American. Apparentley, the Company will get you to training yet will leave you twisting in the wind going home...put you on a stand by status.  Any thoughts?

This is not true.

 

[flybynite]

Yes...it is true.

Maybe you should post it in the American Thread since this is still US Airways.

Not true. Only way that happens is if YOU change your flight home at the last minute and there is no more inventory to be sold. Again, that would be your doing. You are taking something that is hypothetically possible, just not realistically going to happen. Plus, no one changes their flights last minute. Mthe smart ones just go revenue standby for the earlier flight and if they don't make it, they have their originally scheduld flight. A3's are positive space. Flybynite, is a good name for you. That's what you seem to be doing here, trying to start a problem where there is none. In the end, you are still n duty and AA is still responsible for you. Hotel and all! P.S. I like your ability to take some BS rumor and spin it to an actual employee and tell them you are right when you don't seem to work for AA, yet.

It never stopped you from posting on AA's website.

Actually, when booking business travel or returning from training, you are not guaranteed a seat if the plane is full. You can book a seat if there is one open, if there is no seats you are standby. The only must ride confirmed seat is an A1. Given that information, Flybynite is partially correct.

this true. when your pnr is made and you are on company business i.e. training and a seat is available you will get it and not be bumped. if the flight is full they will not bump a revenue passenger for an employee.

spent a month in Miami in airbus school that's the way it worked for me.

That's pretty standard across the industry when you fly positive space though, right? Unless you are on a must-ride DH segment that is operationally necessary, A1 vs A3
