Commuting
I have been out of the 121 game for quite a while now and it seems as though i may be diving back in. i am curious for those of you that commute, are there any good sites or sources out there to use to see flights between cities, number of seats available, and number of non revs or jumpseaters listed for a flight?

True. However, UAL's "flying together" employee site (formerly Skynet) can be so horribly inaccurate of what's really going on. I can be at the gate, looking at the site, while the departure monitor is COMPLETELY different as far as seats available, seats yet to be assigned, whatever.
Meanwhile, I can to the UAL app on my phone and look at the sub menu/seat map and it jives with the departure screen/real time info. To include the non-revs listed. But that's just United, other companies may be different. I heard that DAL's is pretty accurate, no personal experience though.

passrider.com for sure. If you need to know loads on another airline, just call their reservation line and say you're a pilot with another airline, and ask how the loads look.
....and use FedEx and UPS...one of the best perks of being a 121 pilot, imho.
