Commuting or vacationing employees/dependents/pass-riders traveling on a non-revenue space-available (NRSA) basis are assigned to empty seats after fare-paying or listed upgrade pax. Sometimes these are premium seats, if the employee/dependent/pass-rider is eligible and lists for that class of service. More frequently, they are not. EWR-TLV usually has healthy premium demand, and after revenue J pax will often have Y pax listed for upgrades. SAs in premium seats on that route is far from the norm.

Non-revenue positive-space (NRPS) employees traveling on official company business may be assigned premium cabin seats depending on their title or because of contractual obligations, e.g., pilots en route to training. There is not a large volume of NRPS traffic.

In general, revenue pax will not be op-upped to accommodate standby pax. Non-revs will usually be accommodated in the cabin for which they listed or left behind.
