Default Re: Flying Standby Overrated

When I worked at US Airways I nonreved to Europe, Asia, and all over North America. Only got bumped twice, and once was on Northwest Airlines out of Bangkok. Got stuck behind and Indian NW employee with about 8 kids.

Pilots love to complain, but nonrev'ing isn't bad as long as you don't go during peak travel season and take a bit of care selecting your flights. It isn't rocket science.
