What a jealous little person you are. Sounds like you missed out on your dream aviation job and are bitter at those that made it. All jobs have there staff benefits. I’ve worked in a number of industries totally unrelated to aviation and they all had some form of staff benefits so get off your high horse. For the record staff tickets at most airlines are 10% of the
“FULL” undiscounted airfare
“PLUS” all the taxes and fuel surcharges which are quite frankly out of control and are in many of the cases more than the ticket itself. They are not as some think 10% of the fares you see advertised in the paper or the window of Flight Centre as you walk buy. Most of these airfares are about 30-50% of the full airfare. And while you, with your 30-50% discounted ticket have a confirmed seat we are on standby which at times can be bl**dy stressful. Airlines today consider staff travel as a profit centre and have gradually reduced the benefits to staff to the point that in some cases it is cheaper to buy a full fare ticket than use an ID ticket. And all this while airline staff have seen considerable erosion in their terms and conditions. So the next time you want to open your mouth about airline staff travel, think about what you want to say before hand or don’t say anything at all because it is obvious you have no idea what you are talking about.

Do you have any idea how airline staff travel works? If you don't then I suggest you re-read the above. It's not all it seems.
