Do Above & Beyond certs expire?
I am no longer preferred, but still travel occasionally on US Airways flights. I have a lot of A&B's left. Can I still use them, even though I am no longer preferred? Also, can they be used on Republic flights? Thanks.

Although Republic staff will appreciate the gesture, as I understand it, it's only the mainline staff that get to enter them in the draw for prizes.

One thing. Republic is handled by mainline at the hubs and select other stations so mainline agents work their flights there and can participate in the drawing for prizes. While less likely to get A&B certs, ramp/mechanic/baggage is also handled by mainline at those places also.

Jim,
Slight revision; Republic has their own maintenance staff in CLT (as do some of the other non-wholly owned express providers). Mainline still gets all the rest of the operation for ramp/gate/catering.
