I was surprised with how much international travel is with nonrev flight benefits. I realize it's waaay cheaper than buying a ticket, but round trip just to Mexico for my travel companion and myself on Delta and United is still about $300. Europe is $500 and more depending on destinations.
Is that the lowest price to nonrev out of country, or am I missing something?

When Applying
Question
When filling out app and they ask for flight time in all the different aircraft flown do you have to go back 15 years and put 152/172/etc
time. OR can you just put say last 10 years of the jets flown?
Seems silly

Side note: since the bid award that closed today had mostly MSP CA vacancies I'd expect it to go junior. It will probably be back under 4 soon.
