Yes but I think there is a small cost like taxes.
my old coworker is now a FA here at Southwest she gave a coworker of mine a buddy pass she paid $40 each way however on a buddy pass your not top priority and that means you could be bumped if the flight is full. My coworker just used her pass last week and she was actually moved to a different flight because it was full and on the return she got the last seat because someone missed the connection otherwise she would have been moved again
so my advice with buddy passes have the employee check seats on flights and TRAVEL EARLY and be FLEXIBLE
