Say Home!...What kind of advise is that. I just asked an honest question to find out how the system worked now. I have put in many years with three airlines. During my airline days I traveled the globe as did my parents. To be honest with you, I have only not made it on a plane about six times as a non-rev. In those situations I either jumped on another plane to different destination or I waited it out. On one occasion out of England it took me three days but I did get on the plane. I have checked booking levels and there is only one flight my family of 5 might have trouble on getting on. If that happens we will spend the night in EWR and take the first flight out in the morning which is light. Staying home is not the type of advise I would expect from a Non-Rev website. Maybe you are just jealous because you don't have lifetime pass privileges.
