Newb question, can we get the points from our hotel stays, commuter hotels or hotels on a trip?? Also, plus one for flight aware, 121 flights are tracked pretty accurately it seems.

We managed to get them for training at the Towneplace suites. SMF and OAK hotels let you get credit. It is hit and miss. You can always ask, the majority are no, but a few will give you points.

If you're doing DL work just use the pipeline. More info a few pages back.

If you are willing to potentially risk a career on it then go for it. Personally I would not. Who are you to advise someone else who is brand new and potentially taking guidance from this forum (which they shouldn't) on an issue which could affect them severely down the road. Could they be called? Yes. 100%. They are good for 16hrs of duty. SAN and taxis are quite common lately.

It could happen. 90% of the time u show for a taxi and theyndont need u. But my luck is that 10%
