Hi everyone,
Just wondering, let's say you work for company A and you want to fly standby with company B. Can A contact B to see if you flew with them?
Can an airline check another airline's Standby?

Re: Can an airline check another airline's Standby?
To answer your question, if you’re booked off and don’t want to get caught flying another airline, use your jumpseat passes and not your zed fares. Interline bookings through MyIDTravel etc CAN be tracked by your parent airline if they really wanted to dig into it. Would they ever? Hard to say. I’ve heard of it happening. Use your jumpseat (or ALPA privileges if this applies to you) to get around. You won’t be able to travel with family, but it’ll get you where you need to be.

Most Jumpseat booking are made through MyIDtravel now though. Very few carriers still have walk up service.

In most cases, yes. It takes effort on the part of whoever is digging up this information so the exercise actually has to be worthwhile.

Pretty sure it would be an invasion of privacy and the lawsuit you could follow up with would let you retire early

The best part is whether you win or lose you'll never have to work in aviation ever again.

Just because your unfit to work doesn’t mean your unfit to fly as a passenger so go ahead and use your reciprocal js and don’t stress over it.
Re: Can an airline check another airline's Standby?
Thanks, that was exactly it. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well on the last day of a pairing and had to go to Calgary but wasn't sure if I could get in trouble over that. I heard rumors of people getting fired for it. I ended up paying a hotel and going the next day.
Thank you all for the replies.
Re: Can an airline check another airline's Standby?
I doubt it.
