I've been bumped from a Skywest flight by a United pilots parents and 4 kids when the pilot wasn't traveling with them.

They also changed the travel program last year so that now our family members are below ALL United employees on Skywest flights unless they're traveling with you. My wife was trying to come out to meet me while I was on a trip and got bumped by about 15 United employees on our own flight. Had I listed with her she would have been #1.

United benefits are terrible compared to Delta, American and Alaska.
