Yea you're right we did have to pay for the upgrade but it was definitely worth it. Since they swapped me over to the ERJ side I lost my delta bennies.

The one nice thing about united intl is that although the upgrade costs money, it is far superior service, and almost always open since no one wants to pay for it

On international flights you cannot sit in the actual jumpseat. Flowback means that if there is a seat in the back, you can ride in it.

So, for example, we have jumpseat agreement with Air Canada And you can ride in the passenger cabin if a seat is available, but you cannot ever ride in the actual jumpseat on their aircraft.

Our agreement with American, however, is domestic only, but you can ride in the actual jumpseat or an available passenger seat. Some carriers extend jumpseat privileges to international travel and some don't.

Yup....

That, and the only reason I even bother trying to nonrev on UAL is because I always have the possibility of sitting in the actual. Which is usually how I wind up going anywhere on UAL. I don't even try to commute on my own metal (OO) if it's a -200...

While we're on the subject of flight benefits. I've been looking through the travel manual and the delta section says that travel companions travel at a yield fare cost. Anyone care to explain what that is?

It's a price that is about 1/3 of a buddy fare. If you login to deltanet it gives you the prices.

Scenario -

I start CRJ training next month. American just started up service from DFW to Stillwater, OK where I went to school via Envoy Air. As a CRJ pilot, am I eligible for American benefits on Envoy (depending what base I'm flying out of I assume) or is it strictly American flights?
