Non-Revenue Space Available and Related AA Travel
NOTE: Non-revenue passengers no longer have to abide by a dress code, merely appear neat and clean, not offensive - same as revenue passengers. July 2017.

Because some people frown upon D3s assuming they have no affiliation with American and are less important than higher seniority non revs. I don’t think it’s even worth the time and resources for American to enforce non rev codes of conduct anymore. What matters is the bottom line.

They should delete the PNR but as long as they don’t check in they would be fine. Do you think all gate agents are out to get other employees in trouble ? It’s possible if he boarded with both seats and the gate agent realizes this they might just come on board point a finger and say “don’t do this ever again”. Surely he will then clear the lump in his throat and never do it again.

You should request this thread to be deleted immediately, and immediately cancel your D3 booking. Just the act of holding a standby listing and a confirmed ticket at the same time is grounds for the employee permanently losing travel privileges, and possibly termination. Doubly more so if you actually follow through with your plan, because the gate agent will 100% report this behavior.
And it is good to remind people of what happens when policies are violated.
They wouldn't care as much if there wasn't an effect on revenue

I am on the standby list as a D3, for the possible upgrade to 1st and I also have a paid ticket for the main cabin, didn't want to miss my flight. It appears my flight out should be okay for upgrades under the D3 but the flights back are nearly full and my paid ticket may be needed.
Any thoughts on this? I am wondering how to avoid any issues AA may have with this.

Since you don't want to miss your flight, I would suggest you not non-rev.

ID90/Non-Rev "on Alaska" but on AA metal ?
Hello all:
My company has a pass agreement for ID90/Non-Rev travel on Alaska Airlines, and other airlines. It does not have this agreement with American Airlines.
I am seeking to fly between two cities in the future, and magically, Alaska offers this route with the departure times I need. Upon further research however, this actual flight (with an Alaska Airlines flight number) is on an American Airlines aircraft (737).
Any idea if this is still possible? Or will the gate agent shut me down?
Thank you. Email also sent to my travel folks, but it is Sunday so wanted to see if I could get a "real world" answer here
Thanks

Non Rev Rules / Etiquette question
We have to fly a family member to a domestic destination due to a family situation. There are two options: (1) I can purchase a ticket with miles. Seats are available albeit at an inflated cost. (2) Another family member could fly him non-rev (AA), but there is no availability at the moment.
Question: If I purchase an award ticket with miles, and nonrev quota opens up later, will it be ok for me to cancel my award and for him to switch to the nonrev ticket?
We don't want to offend AA, nor do I want to spend miles that don't have to be spent, but I couldn't find any clear statement of rules covering the situation.

You cannot have two reservations on the same flight in any airline, regardless of being paid, reward or nonrev PNR.
Also if the flight is already booked full, nonrev space would only open after check-in closure, so your reward booking would become a no-show.

Is there a policy document available stating this and other prohibitions? What if they were different flights but same date? I suppose it would be a non-issue if the dates were different. Thanks. (And yes I was not thinking of trying to hold 2 simultaneous reservations, but canceling one and only then making the other.)
