Non rev, the benefit I receive in lieu of 'money' on my paycheck...AND, I have a small deduction from my paycheck in order to extend this to my wife. It's a benefit I was promised to lure me to the regional pilot experience that is a total crapshoot as to whether I'll/she'll get to use it or not on any given day. The offer of free travel is enticing, they just never tell you that you'll end up stranded most of the time and eventually will figure out that it's easier (and usually faster) to just drive. I have to beg and grovel to use it now, "thank you sir for allowing me to actually USE the benefit promised to me when I took this job...can I have some more?"
Jumpseat, whole different animal.
