Parent fees can be seen on NRTP (NonRev Travel Planner) for AA flights or TravelUS (For US flights). You'll have access once you start the job, and it'll give you exact info for each flight. Generally, US domestic is $35+taxes, US international $100+taxes, AA domestic varies on flight distance but approx $10-$30 for coach. AA international $35 for coach to Europe/South America, a bit more for Asia. Upgrades extra on either airline. Registered guests are free, but you will have to pay income tax on the value of their flights. You can see the value for any flight on NRTP/TravelUS, but generally speaking, value of US flights is 10% of the lowest Y fare; value of AA flights is equal to the cost for a parent to fly coach.

Yes, I believe it's 16 one-way passes per year. They're only valid on US until the computer systems are aligned, which is planned for late 2015.

Yours should be available immediately upon employment. Your parents/registered guest/dependents will have access within a few days, when the company gets their info into the system.

ZED fares, generally available after 6 months of service. Some, but not most, also allow your registered guest. Almost all allow your parents. Also available on airlines we don't codeshare with.
