Does this mean there is no companion tickets distributed to UA employees at all?
Any information will be appreciated.
Regards,
There were some changes when the merger happened. My understanding for at least one group is active employees still have individual passes they can hand out. Retired employees no longer get this benefit but they can no designate two people as their permanent buddies (or whatever you call it) able to use the benefit as often as they want.
Another change is that economy travel is now free, while c and f seem to have become a bit more expensive.
