Hi
sperrgepaeck,
Unless it has changed, staff traveling on duty hold a S ticket, S1 is with a confirmed seat and S2 is a standby seat.
When traveling on vacation, it is and R ticket. R1 is with a confirmed seat(ID50) and R2 standby seat(ID90).
The LH guys that got C seats in front of me, had R2 on their BP, so I understand they were on vacation.
It is true that, in certain airlines, staff can buy ID50 and ID90 seats in C(and probably also in F), but 99.5% of the time they buy ID90 in Y.
