Atlas does offer stand by tickets on the following careers. Delta, united, American/usairways Jetblue and one more I can remember the name. It is under myidtravel.com. Not sure what they call the actual rate(id90, zed, whatever). Here are some examples of prices. For the islands you are looking at around 250$ for europe around 400-450$. That is leaving from Charlotte. Its pretty much the same prices as buddy passes. 60% of pilots at Atlas do not know this, the company does not advertise it.

I don't see United listed as an option, AA appears to be employee only (not family). Southwest and Scenic are also options.

Who do I email in the company to get on that website? I can't find anything on the disaster called Globalnet.

Thanks, but that's not what they are talking about. I assumed so as well. We need a log in from Atlas for that website to use. I think it's new? The Employee travel benefit page lists 2005 as the last update. I'll just email a random HR person and ask.

1. You could read this thread. Maybe go back a few dozen pages to see if you like the general tone (the earlier stuff may be better before all the union vote mumbo jumbo), skip all the silly banter and take notes on the good stuff.
2. You could download the annual report (the first 5 pages are a decent start): Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings
3. You could jumpseat on one of our planes and quiz the crew (if your current airline is CASS approved).
4. Or you could wait for someone to spoon fed you the info (which someone probably would do if you waited long enough).

The standby tickets are zed tickets and priced based on mileage. Last time I logged in to myidtravel Delta, SW, JetBlue, and US are the major airlines we can buy zed tickets on. No AA or UA. AA is in the drop down menu, but when you go to buy a ticket it is blocked out.
