Airline Staff Travel
One of the perquisites that the airline industry provides its employees is free or discounted travel. Since the traveler in this case is the staff of a particular airline, the benefit is widely known as staff travel and is either offered internally within a company or by independent companies. By and large, staff travel does not bring much revenue to the airline and is hence referred to as non-revenue or non-rev in some parts of the world.

Famous quotes containing the words airline, staff and/or travel:
“My job as a reservationist was very routine, computerized ... I had no free will. I was just part of that stupid computer.”

“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“I pity the man who can travel from Dan to Beersheba, and cry, ‘Tis all barren—and so it is; and so is all the world to him who will not cultivate the fruits it offers.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
