Be careful on this one! The only time that the company will positive space you from home is for inital ground school.

So...if you are like most people and have 2-8 weeks off after gound school, the company will NOT positive space you home and will NOT positive space from home. There only responsibility is to get you from a hub to sim. You actually make travel plans with the training scheduler once you revieve a sim schudule and then are only given the option for positive space from MSP, DTW or MEM, your choice.
So, those of you that are new hires, plan on non-rev home between ground and sim. The company did not tell my class this information until that last day of class and everybody was in shock. This was less than a few months ago.
Ok dumb question time, I probably already know the answer but: When the company "positive space(s)" you that basically means you have a guaranteed seat. When you "Non-rev" that means that you are flying standby, correct?
So lets say after ground school I have a few weeks off before the SIM starts and I want to go back home to Orlando. I'll have to non-rev there rather than having positive space? Once I have a SIM date, it is then my responsibility to non-rev to one of the hubs where I will then be positive spaced to the SIM location?
