Foreign carriers generally have a different mentality and very rarely will upgrade you as a ZED passenger.

Honest question, how many of you actually use your benefits? Not jumpseting on other airlines by yourself or commuting. But actually using F9 travel for yourself and/or family for leisure travel. Do you ZED?
I had benefits on 3.5 majors at my last job, and can probably count on 1 hand how many times I used them for leisure pass travel. I used them to commute for a bit, and to get myself home earlier from CQ or to get home earlier than the scheduled Deadhead at the end of a trip. But actual leisure travel, never did it. My parents never did either. Any time I traveled (like the miracle week I managed to get off for our anniversary trip), I just bought tickets because the last thing I wanted to do was standby travel when we had plans.
Anyway a few pages ago someone was touting the benefits but I couldn’t tell if it was facetious or not. I expect I’ll mostly just use it for the same. Getting myself home from training breaks, maybe if I have to commute at first.
