In all honesty, if this is your first 121 gig and since you'll be on probation for a while, I wouldn't take any big risks until you get comfortable with the commute and the reserve process.
Solid advice above in my truncated requote of TNDelta's comments. My experience has been different due to city pair. Take note of the second paragraph above. Know what you're doing, and when the rubber meets the road, you'd best be complying with the commute policy (i.e. the second and DELTA controlled option could still bring you to sign-in in time.) YMMV, but if you're new, my advice is to suck up the pain while on probation before you test those waters. Again, YMMV.
