Very civil of you, raamjet. I doubt AA will help unless the press covers it. As a furloughee, I only get passes for 90 days, but at US/UA/DL and NW, they get 6 months or a YEAR. The point I'm trying to make, and its very nice you're making D3s available, is that AA won't even help its own EMPLOYEES, so why would they help these poor people?
Sarboy******, try these websites, which have unbelievable low fares to the US, and you might get $1200 US for all 4 round-trip/return, and positive space, instead of standby:
www.bestfares.com
www.lowestfares.com
www.priceline.com
www.cheaptix.com
Good luck.I hope they all make it.
