At United, retirees used to go AHEAD of active employees. You give 25+ years to the company, you get something in return. It wasn't until after the CAL merger that this went away. As someone who is currently an active employee but planned on doing lots of travel during retirement, this was a major setback.

Rather than retiring early like I planned (I was thinking 57), I will probably stay on until age 65 and just work my schedule so I can do lots of traveling at the top of the seniority list.

I plan on just buying tickets rather than deal with the inconvenience and unknown involved with non rev travel. It's the right thing to do during retirement.

Can you tell from the standby list in NRTP if any of the employees listed are FDJ authorized or can only the gate agents see this information?

If you go to the Priority List on the NRTP, the eligible jumpseaters for AA should have FDJ AA next to them. The US folks don't have that yet.
