Not a Spirit employee, but I’m curious what value they place on a standby ticket? Could be worth zero if you don’t get on. Could be worth something if you actually make the flight, but I’d argue it’s never worth as much as even the lowest cost guaranteed seat. Seems like an accounting nightmare. I almost never use buddy passes, but I can’t remember ever seeing a line item on my paystub for imputed income here at F9.

you’ll only be taxed on domestic partners, travel companions, and buddy passes (and most airlines charge a fee for buddy passes which makes them not taxed since they’re not free). Travel by you, your spouse, parents, and kids is not taxable. This is true at every airline in the country
