To book or not to book flight

[Brian121957 43]

I am lookinf for insight and others experiances when they book flights and mark the ds-157 line 18 as Yes.

I have already booked the fligths with frequent flyer miles. A lot of times you have to book several months in advance to use them. I know it is a calculated risk that there will be no delays and I put in some extra days in the timetable for that.

My real question is, Are there sadistic COs who will delay and request extra info just because they see you have flights book to screw you over? That is something I did not factor in. I am guessing it is not good to lie and say we dont have flights. If I thought it was a real posibility to cause problems I would cancel the flights and say NO on line 18.

Why do you believe that a CO has any interest in doing something other than make the best decision possible based on the evidence presented? They want to do their jobs and manage their full schedules.

The documentation he provided reads about like mine. It is a diffrent country and maybe they are toughter then the Phillippines. But it seams that his CO just picked at random and said, "It has been a slow day, lets have some fun with this guy". Do the CO's ever get a GOD complex just because they can.
