404 - Been flying around on ID90 tickets for many years, and know all to well the standing around waiting for your name to be called. Have been bounced many many times, back to a hotel try again next day damn near more expensive than full fare after you've been bounced a few times. You are correct that staff travel is nowadays viewed as a revenue soutrce. There was a time when there was a possibilty of contacting rostering to determine who was to operate the flight and try to organise a jump seat if I was travelling alone - yes mate I am very familiar with staff travel, and the associated stresses, the public however are not, and if you would kindly re read my post and pick up on the point that I have made and the detrimant on pubic opinion that it would have I would be most appreciative. I believe Crank was simply expressing what the public sentiment would be to such careless throw away line as that
Thanking you in advance
