Travel bennies are usually pretty similar amongst regionals, I probably would not weigh that too heavily unless you know for certain that you and/or your family will get a lot of use out of it.

For me DAL/SKW bennies are huge because of my parents geography and lifestyle. For years they have traveled almost weekly on SKW/DAL and now they do most of it as nonrevs...annual value in the tens of thousands.

Many regional pilots never use it though.

SKW benny package...

DAL:

You/Spouse/Kids:
- Free domestic travel on DAL and their express carriers. ($50 annual fee for whole family). They might charge a mileage fee someday.
-You also EACH get 6 international (trans-oceanic) travel days each year. You pay taxes only. North and South America count as domestic.
- Three priority upgrades each year (better chance of getting on a full flight.
- ZED Travel on other airlines (for a mileage=based fee). Both SKW and DAL have various agreements, but the DAL system is more convenient because you can buy a pass at a DAL ticket counter instead of by mail for SKW.
- Check flights and list yourself online (this is SO nice).

Parents:
- Similar to immediate family, but they pay a mileage based fee and taxes...usually works out to about be about 30% of what the public would expect to pay.

UAL (I'm a little rusty on this):
-Mileage based fee for domestic and international travel on UAL and Express. First class fees are significant...if you want to go first class, use DAL.
- Immediate Family and parents.
- Annoying telephone number to check flights and list (supposed to be getting web access someday)

This applies to pilots at all bases except MKE (Midwesy Express). The cookie-bakers get Midwest bennies, but I'm not sure if they DAL/UAL. Anyone?
