Hey all, been through the thread (well searched it) and couldn't find much about ID90s nonrev type benefits besides AA. Is AA the only airline you all can nonrev on? Is your family included? Just trying to sweeten the pot! If this has been discussed already...blast away.

Having flown standby on Delta for way too long, I would politely suggest you not subject your family to such torture unless you just plain hate them. Standby tickets aren't the cheap-o deal they used to be, and the stress of will we/won't we get on isn't worth it. Buy the tickets!

Of course, you can jumpseat on pretty much anyone. For you and the family, I don't see AA, but i see ID75 on Virgin America (after a year) and ZED on Delta (after 6 months).

I dropped my wife off at the airport this morning so she could take a weeklong vacation in D.C. wit her mom. Her journey began at 5:15 a.m. MDT. She will land just before 2300 local EDT tonight. Traveling standby the whole way. We've decided after today that we will now buy tickets. It's not worth the headache of an entire day wasted trying to get somewhere. *My wife wasn't traveling on ZED, ID90, ID75 or any of those. She was traveling as the spouse of the employee of the airline she was trying to hitch a ride east on. Non-revenue travel has become a joke.

Thanks captainv & BYOB, I agree with the standby waiting and stressing game, man! I imagine the reward tickets are more realistic. Just trying to figure in the incentives for the family, cuz I'm so thoughtful. Also, we like to travel with the kids and with big chunks of time off Delta ZED could keep those costs down.
