Made my request as soon as I got the initial travel info sent to me. If one does it then there shouldn't be any issue getting home.

There are two weekends I am able to come home on during the upcoming Feb 16 class. Not counting the last weekend after ground school before sim.

Doesn't sound like there are any limits. If you have at least 48 hours off, they will send you. If you feel like you can handle every weekend at home as opposed to sticking around and studying, by all means, visit the family.
One of the issues I see is that it depends on the route you are flying. I have looked on pass rider before, and seen the last flight out of MSP to a particular destination was 1507. Now, looking at the same flight, there are two more after that. So it all depends. But for sure, early booking is best.

I ended up going home every weekend with no issues.

One of mine is booked at 5:30. I guess they wouldn't book it if they knew I wouldn't have a shot at making that one. Correct?
