Sure, and I've gotten on under similar circumstances. Even an AA flight where the AA tool listed for the JS no-showed and the CA wanted me to go look for the guy to take my seat. I don't agree though that it is completely the fault of the other guy not trying the flight. You have to think about where your best shot is and go stand at that gate, the more accurate the priority list is the better when making those types of decisions.

It's not your seat. It's the captain's.

Same guy whose job it is to go find the guy with the jumpseat listing if that's his inclination, or just say no.

Eye roll.

Actually the company owns the airplane and the seat, the FM stipulates many who cannot be told "no" by a pilot...and what would you know about a jumpseat, I've never actually heard of someone being able to sit upfront on a Dash, do they even have a jumpseat or do you guys just say no to everyone by habit?

How quickly are new hires put into CASS?

Before end of the first week Indoc.

Speaking of commuting. Does anyone do the BOS-LGA commute? How bad is it?

And how easy is it to get those 4 monthly commuter hotels? Do you get re embersed or does that go on a company card with an expense report?

As for the 4 commuter hotels you simply submit a request on decs and it appears shortly after on your hotels page. Nothing to it.

Thank you!

You can request it via quick trade too. It certainly is faster if you don't know DECS like the back of your hand like most of us.
