Obviously XJT doesn't fly overseas, so are there pass privileges with airlines like UAL and DAL? Or would I have to buy ID90s or something like that?
Thanks in advance for the answers!

Right now it depends on which plane you're assigned to: everyone on the CRJ gets Delta and United privileges and I think DFW based pilots also get American. I'm not 100% sure, but I think ERJ pilots only get United. You can jumpseat on anybody that'll let you on and use ZED/ID 90 for overseas to overseas, but the options are pretty limited.
