Yes that's true. SLC is one of the DL bases. I think MSP/ORD get DL too but not sure. LAX now has benefits with all four because of the AA flying.

I don’t really understand this… As a pilot, can’t I fly on just about any metal anytime from anywhere? And if I sign my family up for United, Delta, AA and Alaska, can’t they fly those anytime from anywhere?

You have to look at it from a different perspective.
You can use a zed and list as pilot commuting
You can use a zed and pay for a non rev listing
You can list for UA and get priority over DL/AA/SWA/UPS and others but you will be behind UA and GoJet, AirWisconsin and CommuteAir
If you are in a domicile that allows for DL and/or AA and/or AS you can list for those just as above for UA.

You can have your spouse, kids, parents and a friend added as well to some of those above, but it depends on your domicile.
Those dependents can also use some zed listings as well.

Ok, so what you are saying basically, is that some domiciles will allow you to list family members and friends on partner airlines and some will not?

When I was on the CRJ in ORD I had
UA: wife, 2 kids, mom and dad plus a friend
AA: same as above minus friend
DL: same as AA but also 6 buddy passes a year
AS: None

On the ERJ same as above but without any AA benefits.

Every domicile and airframe is different

Default thanks zondaracer

Thanks Zondaracer - seems accurate based on my experience. I'm currently an "enrolled friend" with United through a SkyWest employee. Any idea about the process if my friend quits to go mainline? Do I lose benefits the day he ends his employment?

Your friend leaves, you lose benefits the same moment he does. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Is there an age limit for kids when they no longer qualify? 21, 25, ??? or, forever in the bloodline they qualify?

Sorry to revive an old thread. Given AA is adding some E175s to SkyWest, do SkyWest pilots on the E-Jet side get flight benefits with AA?

Additionally, what airlines do E-Jet pilots out of ORD currently have benefits with?
