Thanks!

worth it if you are flying to a DL hub. Loads are generally much better than DL and you won't be #32 on the list behind a bunch of retired DL dinosaurs. Priority goes D2 (active AA/Wholly owned employees) D2R/P (parents and retired AA) AAC **this is where we and our eligible travelers go*** then D3 (Buddy passes) and then ZED travelers. Once you sign up you will be given access to the old US Airways Wings site which takes you to a MyIDTravel site which will allow you to see actual loads. Employee travel is pretty quick about getting you activated once you send the paperwork in. Usually a couple day turnaround time.

Correct, on RSV days. For flight days 4.0 is used.

Ain't that the truth...the only real downside about the AA benefits is that it is coach class only. Although,In my experience,I end up in First about 60% of the time,and when I don't they usually give me an exit row

Either that or the gate agents will move you up last minute. We do get top priority on our AA flights though.

AA changed their procedure months ago. We can't list in first but nonrevs are supposed to be placed in first if available. In the past, they'd leave nonrevs off even if first was open.

I'm hoping we get the ability to list in First when/if we ever get access to Jetnet or the new travel program they have
