I'd bet you are now paying an annual fee just to be able to take those space available flights, and then also pay a segment fee. but it's still just barely cheaper than buying a seat!

I love my job, but I gotta say I think I'll like ATC better. The pay don't hurt either.

yes & no. sure, i pay an annual $50USD fee to have the benefits, but i only pay segment fees on international legs, all domestic flights are free.

for example: i paid $65USD total for a round trip fare to AMS this past august. here's the rub: business elite class both ways

Those sound like Delta/Delta Connection benefits. The ones for American were awful. I had to pay for any flight and it cost more for first class and I didn't get buddy passes until working there for 2 years.
