Travel Benefits
 

What are Eagle's benefits with regard to travel? What do they allow, are you allowed unlimited travel, space provided? Your spouse? Parents? Buddy passes? How does this compare to Skywest and Xjet?

Thanks

and what about Republic ...

since it is going the way of wanting to know what everyones travel benefits are, here is pinnacles.

Starting April 1st. Employee, spouse or companion, and all eligible dependants fly for free on all northwest, mesaba, and pinnacle flights. There is no longer a 50 dollar a year sign up fee. Parents have to pay 24 bucks a leg (roundtrip 48). You get 16 buddy passes (8 roundtrip) and the price is based on the route for those, However our buddy pass system SUCKS!!! If you want some one to travel you have to travel with them... lame huh. I asked around to find out why it is like this and they said a few years back some nwa guys were selling their buddy passes on the internet and then when people would go to fly and would get bumped they would get CRAZY,,, so since then we have had to travel with our buddy pass people.

Airhead has no idea what he's talking about. Maybe at Pinnacle, but not NWA. Here's the scoop at NWA.

No signup fee anymore. You, spouse, and kids fly free ($32.50 in first class). Employee parents fly for a set charge. Companions CAN fly by themselves, BUT, only to a hub to meet you. You must go with them if you are flying anywhere else.

As for "some NWA guys" selling passes, some employees in the Philippines were selling them ( mainly to those going to Hawai) and not telling that they would be standby only. The buyers then got very irate when they were denied boarding because of full loads. Unescorted companions were the last boarded, just ahead of ID 90 holders from other airlines.

So does Mesaba have travel benefits for companions like Pinnacle does?

lol are you as retarded as you sound??? i never said anything about those being nwa benifits. you even say it in your own sentance. Airhead has no idea what he's talking about. Maybe at pinnacle, but not nwa.. LOOOL i said those are pinnacle benefits

so everything i said in my original post was correct.... you are a re-tard!

Gonna have to agree with airsupport on this one....

You call the guy out saying he has no idea what he's talking about, then all you do is nearly word for word repeat what he said.

That was rich!

Space A Unlimited travel for you, spouse, dependents. Cost depends on distance. About $15.00 DFW-BOS Y class. A little more than double that for F. Y cabin travell fee waived after 5 years service. Parents have a limited number of passes annually. Eight one-ways? Six? After TWO years, you can share your parents' allotment for buddy pass travelers. First come, first boarding priority. Check in online up to 4 hours prior.

Sorry if I got the exact details about Parents' & buddies wrong. I don't remember exactly & don't use them myself.

At PSA (USAirways Exp) it was You, Spouse, dependents, & parents, Unlimited Fee Waived Space A, from day one. (Actually it was more like day nine, but that was just getting everthing loaded in the system.) Six or Eight buddy passes available on day one. Boarding priority was by DOH. Not sure if it has changed to HP's first come, first priority, or vice versa.

JetBlue has unlimited fee waived SpaceA travel for You, Spouse, dependents, and parents, day one. Four one way buddy passes. Buddy passes were fee waived at one time, I think they are now $50? Still much better than any other I'm familiar with. Don't know about boarding priority.
Oh yeah, last I heard B6 also allows fee waived transport of OAL employees' pets; checked or cabin.

Continental has unlimited space A for you, spouse, dependants, parents, after 3 months. Fee is $10 plus security tax, each way, domestic. $35 F cabin. (I think they are limited to 2 passes a month for the 1st 3 mos - J/S doesn't count.) 6 TransAtlantic & 10 domestic r/t buddy passes each year, awarded Jan 1. So if you're hired Jan 2 you wait a year for them; if you're hired Dec 31 you get them instantly. THE VERY BEST NON-REV BENEFIT IN THE INDUSTRY is CO's Vacation Certificate. You get 2 certs each year which you can exchange for a variety of passes. i.e. 1 cert for 2 BusinessFirst TransOceanic fee waived passes. V-passes also move you to the head of the Non-Rev list (by year of hire) So you can bump those DEN dinosaurs!:p

Can anyone post how Republic's works? I'm hoping to declare my bro-in-law's sister. We are close and she wants to fly back and forth to help them raise the tripplets. Just wondering if that's possible.

Do the airlines give you an employee discount if you need to ship something on one of their planes?
