I have a follow up question regarding the pm VX FA commuter policy, does this mean that post DOR VX FAs that still have their “Stuff Happens” passes will maintain them until Full integration, as well?
Jeffrey Peterson (MEC President) says
No. Full Integration is expected in March 2019, but the Stuff Happens Pass (SHP) will be fully retired no later than January 31, 2019. See Paragraph H. “Stuff Happens Pass Sunset Clause” in the VX Commuter Policy LOA for additional info.
