Default Zed fares/travel benefits for life?

The Legacy airlines offer travel benefits for life after retirement.
What is Jet Blue take on that? Do they offer travel benefits with JetBlue and Zed fares with all the airlines after you retire? Spouse/children?

Yeah as long as you meet the "65" requirement (either you are age 65 when you retire or your age plus years of service with JB equal 65) you and your family get JB bennies plus zeds.

Isn't there a 10-year minimum employment either way?

You have to have 20 years in

OR meet the rule of 65 with a 10 year employment minimum.

The AA travel policy is rumored to supposedly to be one of the best. It applies to their WO as well. 10 years of service and over age 55 at retirement qualifies for lifetime travel benefits.

while working you get the usual spouse or domestic partner, parents and children.... plus up to 13 named "friends" you want to curse with the misery of non-rev travel. You can change the 13 once a year.


Probably get a wider response if this were in the general board.

Nothing like enjoying your retirement by sleeping in DFW all night. AA non-rev is a special kind of hell.

To you Non Rev pros, quick question about checkin priority for connection

So building a connection on MyIdTravel and It states to only checkin for the first flight up to 24 hours in advance, once you clear the original city you are automatically placed in priority with the next flight “T priority”. Which makes It sound like the original time stamp is kept thus bringing you to the top of the pack? Does that sound correct?

If so, if you list for “multiple legs” under the drop down box for “one way, round trip, multiple legs” as to list Mint on one and core on the other, does It work the same way, just check in for the first flight and clear that city and good to go or need to check in separate within the 24 hours for each flight?
Thanks

if it is the same record locator it should work that way, yes, but I haven't done it myself so I am not sure. it makes sense.
