Default Discount helo tours of Grand Canyon from LAS?

Somebody (wish I could remember who) recently told me there was a helicopter tour company in Vegas that gave Grand Canyon flights to airline pilots at half price. Anyone have any more info on something like that?

Grand Canyon Tours by Helicopter, Airplane, and Bus | Papillon Tours

$35 heli tours space available doesn't matter the tour they are all the same price. I gave the pilot a $40 tip.

This was with US/AA benefits your company may not offer that.

One of our old CAs said that he would only ride in a helicopter that seated six people: "Me, the pilot, and the four professional wrestlers it will take to throw me into the damn thing."

It was not a helicopter tour, but one of the operators gave a my wife and I ride for $25 each with our airline IDs on their Twin Otter. It was out of Boulder City. Cannot remember the name though.

Papillon supposedly does the heli and airplane rides. I've called at least 10 times on an overnight and they were booked solid every time.

Discount and helo shouldn't be next to each other in a sentence if you value living, but that's just me.

In this case, it's an operator giving certain airlines a discount in exchange for a jumpseat agreement.
