Default Non-rev employee benefits
Looking to get some information on United employee travel benefits. Can somebody give me the rundown? Any buddy passes at all? Thanks.

If you are an employee, the full guide is on FlyingTogether.

If not, employees have worlwide standby travel benefits and also get a limited number of buddy passes. We give buddy passes to people we don't like.

ROTFLMAO! Unless your buddy is travelling internationally, buddy passes are pretty worthless. They are as expensive or even more expensive than discount tickets in many cases.

Similar travel status as a spouse. You can name anyone you want. They can fly non-rev space available as well as purchase positive space tickets at the employe rate. Can only name one at a time and you forfeit buddy bases if you do.

If you look at his post history, he's just starting out. Likely has a CFI but not an ATP.
