The ONLY time they are a good deal and have a remote chance of working is on int'l flights where your buddy gets first class. If anyone asks if we have passes for friends I just tell them we don't have anything like that.
The other time they are potentially worth it to a buddy is super short legs that are very expensive to buy. Got a DTW to ATW for a friend that was regularly priced at $600 RT. I believe the buddy pass pricing is based on distance so the pass was quite cheap.
