FDX discount personal travel
Just read the latest missive from the office of the CP. Looks like our SWA travel benefits are being restated. In a nutshell, travel will cost $35 OT $70 RT plus $24 ticketing fees. Also will have to take an online test (est time 1 hour) to be able to use any interline travel benefit.
My question to FedEx types. Are you using any interline travel benefit currently and if not why not?
To non FedEx types. What does your benefits within the industry look like, aka in particular SWA and do you pay your company a fee related to issuing personal; travel tickets/vouchers?
I've never though we got a very good deal from the industry vs what we give in return. Most Pax carriers have some sort of ZED fares with travel off line and even better with their own. Our SWA deal, as I read it, looks to be a poor deal considering the costs, issuing$$, and the fact it is SA.

"All FedEx employees who wish to use their discount travel privilege on Southwest or any other eligible airline will be required to have successfully completed a new, online Personal Travel Certification Test."

Looked a little deeper and found that the cert test must be renewed every 6 months This benefit is a joke. I think it would be better to pull it totally, drop providing any benefit to the pax industry and wait see the reaction from that.

This day in age standby travel is not worth it, especially for us, since we're not employees of the airline we're trying to fly on. Never have used this system at FedEx. Never have used family tickets from my brother's airline.
