Does anyone know how staff travel in America works, primarily at United, American etc....
The reason I ask, is that at QF, the staff travel is pretty restrictive and not employee friendly at all. Basically as a staff member you get treated like rubbish, and they make staff travel as hard as possible. This is probably worse for other airlines with staff travel rights at QF.
The rumour I heard is that at United/American etc, employees essentially get given a credit card style ticket issuing machine, and they are free to issue a ticket to anyone they feel like, not just staff members etc...(Not to be confused with the pilots having access to flight deck trips). THis sounded a little bit far fetched, so I was curious if anyone can verify it, or provide the more correct version!
