Short Fuel you need to speak about apples when others speak about apples my friend, 411 is absolutely correct and as I mentioned before an ID 50 can be offloaded regardless in its basic form.
ID means Industry Discount so opposite to a normal full fare paying guest you always have a lower priority to a revenue guest and can be offloaded at anytime in the event that revenue guest are not able to be loaded on a seat. I’ve seen ID50 confirmed (not waitlisted) been denied boarding due to revenue guest as I’ve seen staff with an AOL been refused normal uplift. What you mentioned and have copied and pasted on the forum from your EY staff travel rules is not so much the ID 50 that is non off loadable my friend but is the boarding priority code that makes it not off loadable and what you are quoting there is extracted from the EY staff travel loading priority table. So as mentioned above we speak about apples you need to speak about apples. ID ticket whatever it is can be off loaded. I make reference for you (since you are rightfully enough basing your response on the policy you read) if you read it carefully there is a section there, that outlines the procedure that staff must follow in the event of an emergency off loading, so I can only conclude that if there is a section such as the one just mentioned, then you can always be offloaded from a flight my friend under certain condition. The only thing that would prevent you from being offloaded is the little loading codes they put in your booking. I can be travelling with the lowest tickets available (for argument sake) but if I have a non off loadable loading code I stay on (sorry about the word jumble) Now going back to the post original meaning that ladies children should not and could not be travelling under duty travel (unless someone did a bodgie job with staff travel to make sure his or hers family makes it on the flight) that is the bottom line she held an economy class ticket and that is where she needs to stay. If for any reason she held a ticket (let’s forget about duty travel cause I think that was a bull!!!! story given) which was upgradable in that case the two flight deck crew still had priority as a purchased ID F and J class so they go in first and if there are seats available she can be upgraded with her children to J class only. That is it, what happened on that flight sounds fishy and the FD crew needs to chase that up together with their refund for the downgrade. Don’t tell people they need to know their rights my man you need to know the written rules, know how to read the written rules and furthermore know that rules mean !!!!! out in the ME anyway.
Safe Flying
