Hi
With Willie Walsh (BA CEO)taking away BA's cabin crews perks it got me thinking

What perks do Flight Crew get along with ground staff at major airlines and how do they differ:
Delta
British Airways
American
Qantas
Air France

and any others yo can find or think of

also does flying different routes affect your perks and pay e.g.

LGW-JER compared with LHR-CDG would your pay differ

or

ORD-IND compared with ORD-JFK

Thanks in advance

Your question is not very clear. Your title implies what perks do pilots get over regular employees. Your body asks what are the different travel benefits between airlines.

As for travel benefits of pilots over regular employees, they don't any.... an employee is an employee. Though when traveling on business they most all times are booked positive space....as are most all employees depending on their business trip.

As for pay on the routes you fly I can't think of any. Most all airlines pay you by the type of aircraft you fly. Pay is based off flight hours, so a longer flight will pay you more then a shorter flight.

I know of one major US carrier where the new-hire pilots don't get health care benefits that some other work groups do.

My statements do not represent my former employer or my current employer and are my opinions only.
