I am very very picky and careful who I give my buddy passes too...I have family members that I wont even give them too...I am on a couple of Yahoo email groups that deal with aviation and get emails all the time from folks on those lists that ask to buy my buddy passes...no way!!

Chafetz comments in the article says alot about his character - --


"I don't think it's fair to punish us for this employee's dishonesty."

Chafetz, interviewed on a business trip to Thailand, said he was "very disappointed" that the company declined their request.

"I think it's [US Airways'] responsibility," he said. "They should take the loss."

Basically he is saying that he doesnt want to take responsibility for his own life and wants someone else to do it for him, why should USAirways take a loss based on an employees actions that is not related to them doing their job...USAirways refunded the monies that the globetrotter paid them (interviewed in Thailand and wants a cheap trip to Germany) and that is all they are obligated to do!
