My parents has a little disruption over the last weekend. WE all know that if one acft cancels it can screw up the whole day, which happen so they spent a day at the airport, came back the next morning and started all over again with the 1st flt. That 1st one was close and we all know how hectic it can be on getting a full flight out during the last minuites before departure. Well they both get the last 2 seats. Here's what happen, I am gathering from what they tell me. Some DL person was traveling with a buddy it sounds like. He is ahead of them in priority, but then started to have a conniption fit that his buddy won't get on with him. Well if that happened then one of my parents would be going alone. So to help out the agents situation they stood down gave up their seats and would try the next flt. Question: Do buddys travel at the same priorty if they are traveling with the employee?
