A lot of times it is.
We call them “not-your-buddy” passes, because they go at S4 and spend all day (or multiple days) trying to get on a trip, where for 10-20% more they could buy a real ticket. (And get Skymiles)
I would gladly trade all my buddy passes for some sort of positive space vacation passes.
The last buddy pass I gave out was 10 years ago and the person ultimately had to change their destination and rent a car to get to the original city.
How about trade in all buddy passes for positive space passes home from work or Delta/Endeavor pilots being able to travel S1A/S1B priority getting home from a working trip/ pick up or reserve assignment so that after transporting the delta revenue from point A to point B on working trips we can make it home without getting bumped by the family of 10 or the Duggers ( 19 kids and counting ) who are traveling NON REV standby liesure travel.😵💫🤷♂️💀
