No more buddy passes on DL Connection

[MarineGrunt]

At least for SkyWest (yes, even on our OWN airline) as of Dec 1, 2007. Anyone else get the shaft?

This whole thing is such a cluster@#$%! But it sounds like they backpeddaled and buddy passes are back.

SkyWest Continues Buddy Pass Program for all Employees
09/11/2007

Based on feedback from employees, we have reevaluated our Buddy Pass Program. Until paper tickets are no longer an option, we will continue the SkyWest Buddy Pass Program for all employees on SkyWest-operated United Express and Midwest Connect flights.

Yeah, you can use SkyWest buddy passes on United express and Midwest connect. No more on Delta side...

I think United is going paperless this spring. I think SkyWest employees will not have buddy passes on their own planes soon. (except Midwest) I hope I am wrong.

good. tell your friends to go buy a ticket and support us instead of mooching.
Tickets are so cheap these days anyway that flying standby is not worth the hassle.

Other people have friends. If you had any, you might like to do them a favor some time. However with the hassles of standby, I am not sure if I am supposed to give them to friends or enemies.
