in addition to Non-Rev Space Available (NRSA) (an employee or family member traveling standby, for little to no cost -- which is what most people probably generalize to when the term "Non-Rev" appears in a post), there's Non-Rev Positive Space (NRPS) which is an employee in "Must-Fly" status (case in point would be a crew member having to reposition as part of IROPS recovery elsewhere in the system)

unfortunately, unless you catch a glimpse of a paper BP, it's almost impossible to distinguish one from another :/
