After the dust settled on Vanguard and National, the DOT issued a series of FAQs to clarify their position on section 145. Most of the FAQs resulted in the $50 administrative fee being established. The airlines were able to use the Vanguard case to verify that costs are around $50 (but it took them a while to get the DOT to agree on the cost methodologies). There have been other airlines since Vanguard, but DH is certainly the largest potential useage of section 145.

Oh! You mean like prior to FlyI's announcement of closing shop and issuing furlough notices, that they were assuring everybody, including the employees, that life was all fine and good?

I have no intention of listing my charitable endeavors, however I would like to assure people I am not a 'cheat.'

I am on my ridiculously long holiday break chilling on a forum. Now look, if no one else can even admit that they thought of doing what I suggested you are all lying to your self. I just had the balls to say it.

We really don't need the attacks. Please stick with the rule 145 issues at hand.
Fortunately, many of the issues that might have come up when the first post was made have been alleviated by the advance announcement from DH about the impending shutdown.
