Scale for life flight benefits. Is your airline more or less in scale?
45-50 and 20 yos
51 and 18 yos
52 and 16 yos
53 and 14 yos
54 and 12 yos
55 and 10 yos
60 and 5 yos
65 and 5 yos
Hey, cool... I could get flights for life at 45 years of age if I stay with the company
And if they keep that scale by then.
Which they probably won't.

I can get it in about 4 more months. (Sounds like you got a Loooooooonnnnnnggggg way to go.)
Incidentally, I had to dig deep to find it. It's just information that is in there but you have to dig to find it. I bet you if you asked ten people, you'd be lucky if one guy could tell you the eligibility.
About the same at my company. Employees hired on or after August 31, 2007 are eligible for retirement once they have at least five years of continuous service with an age and length of service combination equal to or greater than sixty. Employees are eligible for lIfetime travel benefis as long as they have at least 5 years of continuous service and must total 60years when combining age with years of service. Our retirees are one step lower in priority than active employees and thier designates. I will be eligible in June and 2023!
Wow, those are pretty generous life flying benefit terms. Almost like OUR pilots. Our pilots can do 10 yos with age 50.
Ours require that you have worked for the company at least 10 years and are at least 55 years of age for full benefits across all airlines. We do offer a different benefit package for those who have worked at least 5 years but less than 10 and are over 55 when they retire.

I wonder if retirees fly based on hire date or based on years of service. So if a guy retired after 20 years, but another guy retired after doing 25 or 26 years but that guy that did 20 years hired on before the guy that did 25 or 26 years. Who would go first. Or if a guy getting flight benefits after only working 5 years because he was 55 when he hired on versus a guy that did 20 years of service but that guy that only worked for 5 years hired on before that guy.
I *believe* it's based on years of service with us. 90% sure.
