Concerning staff travel at AC,
You get unlimited passes on AC for you and your family.No limit, no restriction on destinations. Since last year, all you pay for are the taxes levied by the different airport authorities and governments.
For example if you were to go to the U.S , the pass is free but with the taxes it comes out to about 60$ CAD.
Most places in Europe come out to about 100 $ per person and most places in Asia ,from Canada come out to between 100-150$ per person for the round trip.
You also get unlimited amount of Zed tickets on other airlines for you and your family.
Finally you can designate one "BUDDY" who has 10 passes that they can use without you flying with them, so a friend or girlfriend or whoever you want that is not in your family (I have my sister in law).
Boarding is done by seniority and if you are a pilot you can get the jumpseat.
All in all that pretty much sums it up.
