If so, does that mean the Star Mega Do 5 wont take place for at least 6 months? Also, is there truly a reason to join the FTEF other than merely to travel on a charter flight (from the solicitation, that seems to be the only reason to join FTEF)?:

(d) “Bona fide members” are members of an organization who: Have not joined the organization merely to travel on a charter flight; and who have been members of the chartering organization for a minimum of six months prior to the date of commencement of the affected flight; provided, that the “six month” rule does not apply to:
(1) Employees of a single commercial establishment, industrial plant, or government agency, or
(2) Students and employees of a single school.

Also, doesn't this regulation preclude selling seats for different prices as well as comping seats to the press, etc:

(e) The charter price due the direct air carrier shall be prorated equally among all the charter passengers, except that children under 12 may be offered discounted or free transportation.

This is truly a bureaucratic nightmare, it seems.

Good old Uncle Sam, making things as difficult as possible.
