When I non-reved my whole family on a transcon, we left on Christmas Day and had no problems.
So, the days you're picking seem good for a vdb, but I'm not sure how that works TATL. It would sure be nice to pick up a handful of int'l bump vouchers. How much is it nowadays?
Dude, this is where the real bump-cash is at. How does a cool $750.00 sound? (and so was born another bump-runner off to book the worst possible days in hopes of that elusive bump payout!...or a horrible ride in a middle seat) I too was bitten by the bug earlyer this year.. I had a domestic $900 day and have been dreaming of bumps ever since!
