E ticketing has made life alot easier. However it is not network wide, nor is it as easy as printing off a handful of baording passes, and being charged only when you use them.

It has reduced the exposure to staff travel ticketers, unless you need zed/paper tickets (who were frequently rude - not just to me, but alot of people i spoke to)

Staff travel domestically can in many instances be more expensive compared to full fare virgin blue. (Mainly due to the BS fuel surcharge - but I will leave that discussion to a different forum - search/have a look in D&G)

Singapore staff travel can be a nightmare - singapore airport staff frequently will load their staff on QF flights ahead of QF staff. It is a known problem, nobody seems to be able to fix.

Domestically, especially at Perth, the upgrades are remarkably suss.

Anyway my post is to find out information about staff travel on United/American carriers.
