You work for the wrong airline or you live in the wrong city. Either way our travel benefits are just as good as any other airline. In fact probably better as we do not overbook flights. So non-revs have a much better chance of getting on.

Thanks!

Like everywhere else (I think). You fly for free non-rev anywhere the company does. On other carriers, you fly non-rev at a reduced rate (for instance I can get to Germany non-rev for about $160). You'll get 4 buddy passes that are good for one-way travel every quarter. Said another way, you get 8 round-trip buddy passes per-year.

As a pilot, you'll be in CASS and able to fly on almost any air carrier for free.

How do you mean? Very few carriers let you travel free with CASS, only US carriers I think. For the rest of the world's airlines you have to pay for an ID90. (Plus American that won't let you Jumpseat internationally)

That said, I don't see how the JB travel bennies are any worse than any other airline. The list of airlines available to get the zed fares (or ID90 or whatever) is more extensive than United has. Aer Lingus is an option to Ireland which isn't available to United employees.
