I'm very upset about the buddy pass ordeal. I give them all to my cousin and he visits 6 times a year. Instant cash for the company and he takes only DL Express. I have never heard about the fraud with the Buddy Passes. I hear just about everything and have never heard how rampant the fraud is. A few bad apples spoil it for everyone. Just to keep you updated on the latest base closings and displacements: Closing: MSY,SEA,ORD,IAH F/a bases) Displacing MCO (258 fa)LAX (150) DFW (500). It is making life hard for everyone and we are all very upset. Reserve in ATL in March will probably be at least 10 years, I can't live in Florida and commute to ready reserve. Displacement is getting kicked out of your home base and given what is available.
