It appears the Together we Fly Program is a joke... at least for our family. The first time I tried to use our Free positive space ticket was for a funeral in May. No this was not possible as the program requires 14 day advance reservations... Ok..I ended up on stand by and all worked out ok.
Now my daughter (age 11) was invited to go to St. Croix, Virgin Islands with a family friend next February for a week. So we tried to use our Free ticket this time 5 months in advance. She is not traveling over Presidents weekend nor during easter break. Guess what. No W inventory on the flights she needed. The trip from PIT via Charlotte to STX are wide open over 100 empty seats and not a single W....Although the Company says there are no black out periods, appearntly there simply are no W invetory added to certain flights.
We were able to book an ED 20 (oh joy) and it is very expensive to travel to St Croix, over $600 round trip. Which I think is a lot of money to spend on an 11 year old.... but that is a parenting issue not a USAir issue...
So much for the use of a free ticket....It is really sad when you work for a Company for 18 years and you can't even make simple use of a free ticket. That and we have no pension...What a wonderfull place ... NOT.. Just had to vent and let others know that the Together we Fly program is a total waste of time. Thanks DAVE....
