Does anyone know if flight attendants and other airline employees have to pay taxes on their free air travel?

I have a friend who insists this is so, but it seems hard to believe that this benefit would be taxed. After all, FF miles are still not taxed (due to Randy's efforts?)

I believe that employee/family travel is not taxable as income but domestic partners have imputed income based upon the fare used. Similar to health care benefits as I understand it. No tax on family coverage but taxable on domestic partners based on value.
