LOL. I was worried there for a second, how could you know that much about me.

Question about delta travel benefits. Who gets to fly free? Parents, siblings, immediate family? Do you have guest passes to hand out to friends/extended family? How much is the fare for a guest pass and how many do you get? Thanks in advance!

Parents, spouse, and offspring get travel benies. You get 8 buddy passes a year, but only give them to people you no longer want to be friends with. Cost of benies is $50/year and passes are based on distance traveling, like a ZED fare.

So is the $50/year for the free family flights or the guest passes or both? Is that 8 round trips? Roughly how much are tickets? My old company charged 10% of the fare so it was usually $30-50 each way (cheap).
Also when family flies does it charge anything to my account?
Thanks again for the info. Sounds like standby on delta is pretty bad with your comment about giving guest passes to people you don't like??!

$50 a year gets you unlimited S3s and 6 S2s for your eligible riders. Parents get S3B1, unless traveling with the employee. If you don't have kids, they get better. There are some other details too. You also get 8 passes. They can be either RT or OW. Best to always purchase RT. You can always change it later. The cost is based on the distance they are going. ATL/LAX is gonna cost more than ATL/ STL. Only time it costs you more for family is traveling g international. PFCs and departure/arrival taxes are payroll deducted.
With load factors in the 90s, S4s can sit for days sometimes depending on where they are/going.

I'm not disagreeing with that. There are many ways to get to your goal and that is not the end all metric by any means. All things being equal, finishing a 4 year degree in 4 years is preferred, and weight/points is given to that. However weight/points is also given to many things that would cause or correlate with taking longer than 4 years. So its simultaneously possible to lose points because of it, but in a way where you end up gaining more points. This is what he absolutely can't wrap his mind around. He's only focusing on the "points" of the timeline to a degree and nothing else and then radically over emphasizing it and then either giving career advice to people that already have their degrees (in whatever time it took them so they can't change it) or people who are still in college and many years away from getting their application scored and interviewed and by then it will have changed anyway.
