Do you get travel privileges only on the mainline carrier that your particular certificate flies for or can you get travel privileges on other mainline carriers that the other certificates fly for?
Thanks.
Only on the mainline associated with your certificate.
S5 - Delta and United
YX - US Airways, though Q400 gets United
RP - Delta, United, US Airways, and American
Everyone gets Frontier travel.
If I remember correctly for RP only certain bases get every carrier.
ZED fares are through the agreements Frontier has so it is very limited compared to my previous regional where we had ZED access through the Delta agreements.
United travel is also per segment agreement that is $20 a leg domestic in coach and $50 + taxes a leg international in coach. It costs even more for business/first class. Parents travel at your same priority on your hire date (SA5X) and pay the same as you. United gives you a second enrolled friend. So you can have 2 friends, or a spouse/domestic partner + 1 friend. No buddy passes anymore.
Delta you pay $50 a year, all your passriders get unlimited domestic in coach and first no extra cost. Overseas you only pay taxes and you get 6 travel days a year after which you pay $150 a leg in addition to taxes. Parents always travel as S4 priority on first check in basis, not your hire date (so they are below even mainline buddy passes), and they pay a yield fare based on distance. It's worth it overseas if they get business, otherwise United is cheaper/higher priority for parents. Delta does not allow friends, only Spouse/Domestic Partner. No buddy passes either.
