Only $25 each way for UAL and Skywest Employees. How did we get shafted with the extra $44?

I'll guess it's because we cannot reciprocate the deal. All the company can offer them is a shipping discount.

Which probably benefits them a lot more.

Spirit gives us $50 round trip, space available IIRC, and I'm willing to bet they ship even less stuff through us.

I will guarantee you that the passenger folks use the discounted shipping waaaaayyyyy more than we use any pass travel benefits...

I believe there would be a huge outcry from the industry if we dropped them from discounted shipping.....and barely a whimper if we lost pass travel...

Just saying....

There would be. I know lots of folks at other airlines
airlines use the benefit quite a bit. I used to use it quite a bit before as well.

I've had a few FAs try to "thank" me for the benefit by plying me with liquor. Too bad I was jumpseating...

Just ask for it in a to-go cup.

C'mon guys. I know everything should be about us...but this time it's not. Any FedEx Express employee on a limited income should be happy as heck about this. If you're flexible, you can take the wife and three kids home to see grandma and back for under $500. Just because we don't use a benefit, doesn't mean it's not valuable for others. Now let's just hope some bozo doesn't screw it up for the people who can really use it.

Only if you can pass the hour long online "I promise to use my best manners and wear big-boy pants" test
