It's so useless it shouldn't even be called a benefit. In fact they call it a "privilege" now. Basically you won't get a seat until after every mainline newhire, gets on, every mainline retiree, all the mainline retirees kids, then pilots and families of the latest sellout wholly owned get on. Not to mention that the latest revenue management gurus are overbooking everything and achieving 99% load factors. So basically you're not getting on.
