    Because of previous abuse with buddy passes, my airline's employees now have to travel WITH the buddy. And if the employee doesnt board, the buddy doesnt board!

    I&#39;m sure a lot of people dislike that restriction but when I was with DL that was exactly my personal policy. I just used them to take people along. It was just too difficult to try to get people to grasp the process. I also had a bad experience when my sister gave some passes to her in-laws without my knowledge.

    I used to use death threats and told them I would hunt them down if they messed up my pass privileges. The one thing I didn&#39;t like and still don&#39;t like about Delta&#39;s buddy pass policy is the employee or retiree can get punished if the buddy pass flyer screws up. I don&#39;t think we should have to police what they do. For the most part they are adults and should be responsible for their own actions.

    I&#39;ve never, ever had a problem with "buddy passes", because only my " buddies" use them.

    I only allow family (and a couple friends I consider to be family) to use them.

    It&#39;s gotten to the point where I&#39;ve always got quite a few left over when they expire. Kind of a shame but what ya gonna do?
    If my daughter decides to quit Skywest to take care of her children, she can use them to come and see us.

    Look, I&#39;m not advocating selling your passes...not by any means! But, is it really a shocker that some of the hundreds of thousands of airline employees who have seen their paychecks steadily declining would resort to such tactics. Hardly. Buddy passes have always bothered me...it&#39;s just more competition when traveling on other carriers.
