If you want a firm ticket ahead of time, what kind of discount do you get on flights?

On United you can get a 20% discount for a confirmed seat.

SkyWest employees and their family members can get ZED fares (standby travel at a lower priority for a small fee) on some 70+ companies around the world

E175 Pilots at ORD get Delta Bennies now.
ZED fares available after 6 months of service

I’m curious to what range the travel benefits extend to.
Like is it just discounted or do you actually get to put yourself on a standby/non rev list?

You, yourself can basically get around the US for free. Some of your companions and parents will have to pay a yield fare ~$36 per segment. Delta is nice because they don't charge for upgrading to first/business class. Once again it depends on which aircraft and base to which benefits you get.
Every pilot in every base should be getting travel benefits on all partners just like Republic pilots(as well as everyone in SGU, and all the FA's, MX, agents and rampers)!

They'll activate on SkyWest Online 30 days prior to your Indoc (not ATP) start date if you're a Cadet and have completed the on-boarding stuff. The effective date is actually backdated to your EC date for Delta which is cool for buddy passes (need a year). I'm not 100% sure but I think that also goes for the clock that starts for ZED fares.
