I believe a lot of the info is not made available to the public such as how much united is willing to oversell a flight.

Deliberate oversells appear to be a thing of the past.

If this is related to a single non-rev booking, yes, the employee may share the likelihood of seat availability with the buddy pass holder. But using the company access password for bulk queries may get the employee in trouble.

Beleive "Flying Together" is an internal communication site and the above information is not on that site.

I would suspect "Flying Together" is considered company confidential and UA would prefer those communications stay internal but are aware they will leak out (and therefore limits what is posted).

The inventory information is clearly proprietary and probably be a poor employment choice to provide publicly (and not appropriate for us/FT to request such information).

Asking for that information is requesting an employee take an employment risk and is not an appropriate request on FT

Flyingtogether.Ual.com is the official employee intranet login portal for ual employee. The united airline home page is created to help ual employee to check various information like all upcoming work schedules, pay stubs, airline news and many other employee's account management services.

I am absolutely not requesting that info. I was saying that I wasn't sure if flying together is the non rev Site. Then I added that from what I have seen the non rev site has access to the info discussed above.

Flying Together does not have flight load information. That is on a separate site and can also be found on the app when signed in with employee credentials. Flight load and booking information is confidential and can't be shared outside of our approved pass-riders.

The closest Flying Together gets to flight information is that a section on flying Together details our travel benefits and incudes a link to the site where we can see the flight loads and create non-rev listings.

Yes, employees have access to that information and no, they are not allowed to share it.

What he (@Raymoland) said.

There is really no further discussion required, is there?
