Are you sure it is free coach travel after 5 yeats on the payroll?Depends. If you want to go to the ski resorts in the summer and the beach in the middle of the winter, the benefits aren't bad. Getting on the airplane is the trick--after all, it is Non-Revenue Space Available (NRSA).
I don't know if the benefits varies between work groups or not. I am a flight attendant. No travel benefit at all until you complete probation (6 months). We get free coach travel after 5 years on the payroll. Any time you lose due to furlough/lay off extends the 5-year anniversary date. Until then there is a nominal fee for coach travel.
After two years on the payroll, you get 24 one-way passes a year for family and friends. Unused passes can not be carried over to the following year.

Better job position.Pardon the off-topic question, but if you already work at US, why on earth would you leave to begin at the bottom of AA's seniority ladder? Especially since Doug Parker is going to forcibly merge AA and US in the future? If you're at US at that time, you won't be stapled and you'd get to keep at least relative seniority (DOH or dovetail or something similar). What am I missing? AA's wages aren't anything to write home about.
senoirity basedone of the best deals with are travel is its basically first come first serve to get on the standby list it's NOT senoirity based. we do get a couple of higher classifaction stand by passes to use once a year. But AA still will put F/A and pilots ahead of regular standbys when they are trying to commute and cann't make there trip. maybe someone could in lighten us on that.
How does usair put standbys on the list?
that sucks hopefully you guys don't buy us out :blink: :angry:senoirity based
If you've applied as a mechanic, I suggest you rethink submitting your application to American.I just recently applied for a job wit AA. I was just wondering how are you guys travel benefits?
It is mileage based.Does anyone know how much the fee is for travel before 5 years?
As stated above, the fee is based on distance traveled. And, it changes from time to time. Right now a non-rev roundtrip for DFW to LAX and back for someone under 5 years costs $25.40. That may change tomorrow, but might give you an idea. Round-trip DFW to LGA is $27.06. Shorter flights are less. Longer flights are more.Does anyone know how much the fee is for travel before 5 years?
