Now you've waited another 2.5 hrs for the next flight only to get bumped again by someone senior. This goes on flight after flight as non-rev after non-rev keeps you on the ground. There are positives and negatives to either system.

That's the beauty of it all. If you don't like how one company does it, you don't have to work there.

Sometimes you don't have a choice. You can work for a company and they suddenly revamp the travel policies. Other times, a merger forces the change. I'm going to look for another job because I don't like the way they run their travel policy? I wish I could be financially independent. Like hit the jackpot in Vegas. Then I can tell everybody to get $%##$@!!
