What don't you understand about them?

*DELTA CONX/QUOTE AS ATLANTIC SOUTHEAST AIRLINES
**IROP**

**IROP TRIP**

**IROP PROTECTION**

I've never looked at the booking codes on a protected itinerary so bear with me. Not knowing the booking lingo like you do, I don't know what the TRIP means in number 2, IROP TRIP. Does it mean they're keeping you booked on that flight in case you make it or does it mean they're cancelling you on that one?

I know what PROTECTION means or did mean in the past, but by your example above, having the word "protection" in number 3 doesn't necessarily tell me that they are in fact keeping you on number 2, given the fact that the other agent posted a warning about a memo from his supervisor.

So, not understanding that post, (be nice to me, we blondes are a little slow) #27 and 29 didn't shed any new light.
