Default AA non rev benefits

I've been curious but can't find an answer anywhere in previous threads. Could someone provide a brief rundown of non Rev benefits at American?

First five years on the property = charged for First and Coach.
Five years through 25 years = charged for First, free for domestic Coach
25 years + = free First/Coach.

Definitely the worst bennies amongst the majors. Hoping USAir (if the merger goes thru) fixes it.

You forgot to write "just kidding man!" at the end of that.

Not free F/C after 25 yrs.

Jetnet (company travel site) fare section isn't working to check the reduction but it's a reduced rate in F/C. Maybe 1/3 cheaper(?) but not free.

Thanks Slice, I didn't think it could be any worse than what I wrote!

Unfortunately all true. AMR has profited off its employee non rev bennies for decades.

Good luck finding open first class seats to non-rev. The upgrade list for first class from revenue people is almost always a mile long.

Guys, I have been there 35 years, and I still pay for first class. Not as much as a new hire, but it is not free, even in domestic.
