What is id90? And how does it work with these airlines?

 

You don't get it until you are on property 6 months, but it allows your family to travel on much reduced ticket prices, albeit as a standby passenger. The employee can always jumpseat for free on pretty much anyone.

 

It's ZED tickets. ID 90's went away. Pretty much the same thing.

 

Not really. For most international travel a ZED is way cheaper.

When I used a ZED over an ID90, the ZED averaged about 1/3 the ID price.

 

The one thing I miss about working at Atlas vs a passenger carrier is not having ZED agreements with pretty much every major global airline. My wife and I traveled all over the world on ZED tickets when I worked at my prior regional. Currently at Atlas we have ZEDs with Delta, US Air, Southwest, Jetblue, and Scenic Airlines. ZEDs can be booked / refunded online and tickets are electronic. Travel is standby space available.

ZED (Zone Employee Discounts) prices are based on mileage and ZED level (Low, Medium, High). The level is based on the agreement in place with each individual airline. I believe all our agreements are ZED High. ZEDs are good for the employee, spouse, and parents.

Just so you can have an idea of some prices..... I figured these prices for myself the employee on DL which is ZED high. Prices include taxes and fees. Since it is a High ZED, the price would be the same for spouse and parents as well.

ORD-ATL = $71.36
ATL-AUA (Aruba) = $140.86
ATL-BUE (Buenos Aires) $160.86
ATL-LOS (Lagos, Nigeria ) = $160.86
ATL-AMS = $150.86
ATL-NRT = $210.86
ATL-DTW-ICN = $268.42

 

I took the test on the 4th of May and like you no call. Not sure if I should follow up as well.

 

To tie in with my previous point, those higher milage ZED fares could EASILY run $600+ for the SAME segments.

Even that ORD-ATL could get pricey (relatively speaking) if the highest published Y class fare went nuts all of the sudden.

 

Do you know if it's appropriate to call them?

 

Passed on the 18th also no call. I am not going to contact them at least for a while. I think they are well aware of who has passed and who has not. I don't really feel that it serves a purpose and if I were in their position would probably be rather annoyed by it. That's just my opinion though.

 

I wouldn't attempt to contact them. The instructions for the test say reapply in six months if you don't hear anything. I'm sure they have a method to the madness.
