Most programs that I am aware of explicitly disallow an airline's employees from their FF program, using lounges, etc. Given that they can often travel free, or almost free, I don't imagine that they would want to displace paying customers.
Well... my dad's an AA Pilot (that's your only hint about the AA abbreviation) and my parents have put college educations and cars on their Citibank (that's your second hint) card. There's a problem with the "free or
almost free" travel... it's space available. My past two trips to florida have involved 3 nights in DFW. When I went to France this summer, I went on AAdvantage miles.
My mom has had an Admirals Club membership for about 8 years. I believe my dad would be ineligible. Employees in uniform are
never allowed in. I don't know what the using lounges when non-revving policy is, because we've always been discrete and checked in elsewhere.
I don't need a lounge membership. I look young enough that I can say "my dad's in there" and get in. I only say that phrase... don't associate "dad" with my dad, the pilot.
