you can look on any of the public access airline websites for seats--I frequently look at delta.com for what's available--if there are seats showing, I MIGHT consider telling a buddy pass rider to CONSIDER going to X destination within 21 days--c'mon--you are talking JULY--I wouldn't even mention an actual destination to a buddy pass rider for anywhere like Hawaii, much less, think I could do it as OAL employee below an airline employee buddy pass? that just makes no sense to me--with spouse AND 2 kids--even one as lapchild--ACK--kill me now!! I think a sharp stick in my eye sounds better than that game plan--all kidding aside--are you kidding yourself?
Spongebue--this is OAL employee spouse (along w/employee? to make 3) with 1 and 6 yr olds--there may not be much of a Plan B in this case, but to think it's more plausible because of the economy can be offering a false sense of security---that's when the nonrev zombies come out of the woodwork....(hear the music, swaying to the rhythm...the beat of the drums...the euphoria...)
