Yes.

Benefits work like this:
CRJ - everyone has the option to pay for delta and united. This extends space available travel to one's immediate family.
Depending on your domicile you may have the option to pay more money for different airlines.

Embraer - pay money and get united but not delta.

Short answer: pay money to hear your parents complain about being inconvenienced by 90%+ load factors.

Int'l DAL travel is sweet though.

United is $0 zero cost..

Yup. I've never heard of a profit sharing program being used in lieu of a retention program. Go check out the PPS sharing on sapa forums. The number of pilots defending the company on this is just stupid.

Then again, they ARE getting my money...

United is $0. But they charge for upgrades. That is if you ever get first. Much more for international. It's about $15-25 fly domestic. I paid $175 for business class, NRT-IAD. Worth it to me. You can add a travel companion for $100. If you don't have a spouse, you can add a second companion for $200. They will pay for each flight they take though.

U.S. Airways is going away and being replaced by AA. You have to be based in ORD or PHX for AA benefits. They are worthless anyway.

Delta. It's $50 per person, up to $200 max for the year. You can also add step parents for a total of 4 parents, which I like. United can't do that. If not married, you can add a travel companion that pays yield fare for each flight. Delta doesn't charge for upgrade. Rare to get upgraded on domestic but easy to find open business class on international flight depending on season and destination. Again, you must fly the CRJ for Delta benefits.

We also have Zed fare agreements to take many foreign airlines if you want to do some local travel while overseas. They are available for your parents, and kids. Not your companion.

Of course, you yourself can Jumpseat on any airline, including Fedex, UPS, Atlas.

Since when is united zero cost? I pay them yearly. Not to mention the arm and leg they charge to get your (someone other than life partner/parents around).

Being bumped by a double booked vacation pass is priceless though.

Edit: is that what I've been paying them $100 every year for? A travel companion?

Oh wow! That's so right NVUS, thanks for reminding me about that!

Thanks for bringing this up. That makes it alright!
