We don't have ZED, we use ID90, now 4-5 airlines, United one of them, the rest aren't really that important.

and also we have a list of more carriers via email to HR.

You send your request and a few days prior to your trip you (hopefully) get the passes.
(you can close your mouth now, I know, it sucks)....but then again I dont really know that many people nonreving with or with out family on vacation anymore.

The rest of the list, may or may not be accurate. Its from 2008.

UA, BA, AirTransat, Alitalia, Airwisconsin, F9, JB, Lufthansa, Martinair (best FA's), SAS, SW-AT, Swiss, VX, VA, Westjet, NZ.
And a few more, but out of business now.

Like I said, this list may be totally out of date and we may not have any of the agreements above. Very hard to find out what's current and what isn't here.

Our travel dpt and management aren't really driven to get the NON-REV system up to par with the rest of the companies, so....If you plan to come here just for that, look elsewhere, if you want a job with decent pay, schedules and good growth, then this may be in the top 5 in the country.

Good luck.

Obviously, Non-rev travel isn't as important as what is mentioned above. I already had my eye on Spirit and now that they are about to open a base in my city it's greater motivation for me to get an interview. I will be going to the job fair next week but only for Spirit.

WOW!


There are several people on the NKS hiring thread willing to give their left nut for a job here. Meanwhile, you are not only basing your career on travel benefits, but have already given up both of yours. My only question is, are they in a jar on top of the refrigerator, or did she bury them in a hole in the back yard?

You sound more like jetBlue material

Lol, leave it to The Rod to put a smile on everyone. Funny material, and perhaps sadly true.

Don't feel like the lonesome strangers over in FLL. LAS is exactly the same if not worse and has been since the base opened.

Hey, maybe when your regional loses it's contract with the legacy you feed maybe they'll let you keep those travel bennies. Probably not. But maybe.

Or maybe you should consider getting a job that will let you afford a real airline ticket for you and the wife. Getting stuck in Europe for 5 days on a ZED pass sucks.

Or maybe you should consider getting your nuts off the shelf and having them surgically reattached so you can tell the wife there's more to life than her opinion on vacations.
