Family is one of the most important bonds that we can have. One of the best perks of our jobs is inexpensive travel for us and our immediate family members. For some of us, our immediate family are parents, for others it is our children.

I have been with American for over 30 years and my parents have used 2 passes total. I have been able to travel with my children until they turned 24. Both are still at home, both are students and our family vacation every year has made us closer. I have talked to a lot of flight attendants that have children over the age of 24 and it is very difficult having the D3 status. I would like to propose a D2C for children over 24. Unfortunately my mother has passed away and my father can no longer travel. I would gladly trade my D2P for my adult children. Let everyone make that choice for themselves- who would be best to have as a D2.

I am hoping that if we, our American family (Flight attendants, agents, ground personal, mechanics, pilots, managment), can unite and petition corporate to create a D2C status, we can make this happen! Sign with your base or station- e.g. Karen Anderson LGA
