ASA Benefits

[PalmettoPilot]

Can anyone tell me what the ASA travel benefits are? I know they are the same as mainline, but what exactly is that?

 

[Stifler's Mom]

• Unlimited Domestic Travel (SA-3)
• 18 Transoceanic Flight Days (SA-3 T/O)
• 6 Priority Flight Days (SA-2)

SA = Space Available, the number is the priority you are on the NRSA List.

And here is some overkill information for you.

• The flight days are renewed upon the anniversary of the employee’s hire date. The flight days must be used during the employment year to which it is allotted. The allowance is not cumulative from one employment year to the next.

• 
  [*]Pass riders may depart on as many flights as they wish on a calendar day. For all scheduled departures made on the same calendar day, the allotment will be reduced by one "flight day."

• 
  [*]Travel on the Transoceanic system in conjunction with a Priority flight day (SA-2) will utilize a Transoceanic flight day (SA3 T/O).

• 
  [*]Transoceanic SA3 pass provides travel between the Domestic, European and Asian systems.

• 
  [*]All Transoceanic travel required a paper pass (SA3/SA3B non-revenue trip pass) due to Customs clearance. When possible, passes should be obtained before arriving at the airport for travel.

• 
  [*]After all allotted "free of service charge" Transoceanic flight days are used, employees and spouses may continue to travel using Transoceanic service charge flight days at $75.00 per flight day.

• 
  [*]All Transoceanic international fees and taxes and transoceanic service charges are payroll deducted. The appropriate international fee and tax will be charged and payroll deducted regardless if the Transoceanic flight day was free of service charge.

are those benefits for family as well? do you get to put down a 'companion' as well?

 

[shamrock]

Parents are included and you can name a companion if you don't have a spouse (or choose not to put them on your benefits).

Thanks!

Didn't this change? I thought I remembered reading something about no more paper passes for int'l, but I may be wrong. (And no, I'm not thinking of the recent buddy pass change)

I faxed in a resume last Monday, got a phone call Wednesday. I went away for Memorial Day Weekend and when I returned I had a package in the mail from them on Tuesday. I FedEx'd it overnight on Wednesday, arrived Thursday (today) at 10:34am. I got a phone call at 2 for an interview date. Good Luck!

At mainline DL it has changed (presumably at ASA as well). There may still be a few outstations out there that require a paper pass (ZRH?) but the vast majority do not. I usually just carry a paper pass or two JIC when I go Int'l. Buddy pass purchases are now done online as well.
