Default Buddy Pass and Service Charge Calculator

A family member has asked me about buddy passes to an international destination. Under the old system (weblist), I could find a service charge calculator on skynet (ominous Terminator music, maestro).

Now, with EmployeeRes, I can find policy letters, but not an actual calculator. Anyone know if there still is one? If not, ballpark numbers per pass to Europe from the east coast?

And, do the passes work on UAx? I don't think so, and got tired of chasing links to research it.

My advice was it was risky from a full-load perspective, and I believed at best the tickets were about 50% of actual prices (not the unrestricted fare stuff quoted in the policy letter). Just wanted to back up my advice with fact and research.
