Hello sis to the employee. I swear to God you can talk to someone about nonrev travel until you're blue in the face, and things will never change. Nonrev travel policy is not made up of only one person. (I think its a team of people beyond my pay grade that determines.) I don't even know whom comes up with the final policies or determines whom flies to what relationships to whom or whatever. I can agree with your sentiment about blood relatives while, for example significant others can fly same as an employee though not active employees with the airlines themselves. What you deem to be fair isn't always a fair outlook to someone else. And that really truly sux just like congress and legislation is alot like this. It's a free country, go ahead and send your gripes via a letter. I doubt you will hear anything but don't let anyone stop you.
