Fact! Doug has gone on record numerous time to say he would prefer no airline offer standby travel benefits. Has stated in a nutshell that to be competitive it is offered, but that employees now entitled to it now, but should not. That none-rev/standby travel is an incredible benefit to have, that other industries don't offer this to their employees. He even went on to talk about his banker friend being shocked we get such benefits still today.

AA is one of the biggest airline in the world that Over sells flights, It is strategic. They rather offer a large sum’s of monetary credit to paying passengers.

The above is statement by [MENTION=72905]Cyio[/MENTION] is factual!

Flight Benefits do sound really good on paper. It draws many cadets to Envoy and PSA. The value of these benefits are strategically being degraded fast. Forcing crew members to move in base. Load factor levels are increasing.

Let's not forget about last minute DH’s!

Hub to Hub is terrible.

Cadets that live in big cities, I personally would stop bragging to your parents about giving them AA travel benefits as well. Toilet paper is more useful!
