Don't use it to commute, as the higher priority isn't exactly going to give you higher access to the jumpseat.
D2 would be your everyday commuting passes. I.e., traveling to and from work.
D3 are passed you can hand to your friends. You only have a limited amount per year as well.
Hope this helps.

I'm still trying to understand the nuances of this whole process.
While in training, because we are not qualified yet, I guess we don't have access to the jump seat?
Are you saying not to use D1 to commute when a jump seat is available, which doesn't require a pass? This makes sense in that respect but seems to me nothing is more important than getting TO work or maybe I'm just not initiated to the system yet.
Thanks

Don't use a D1 to commute. Commuting depends on a lot of variables. Who you're flying on, who has checked in, when you checked in, seniority, etc. A D1 does nothing to get you to the top of the list for a jumpseat. You'll have access to the jumpseat once you have your badge. I went home the weekend during indoc and had to jump on Expressjet going home. No issues trying to get on.

A D1 pass essentially bumps you to the top of the NonRev Stanbdy list for the cabin. Flight Deck Jumpseat priority is determined by check-in time along with The operator of the flight (EAG vs. AA).
D1 passes are considered vacation passes, and most people use them as such. Since you only get 6 D1s per year, use them wisely. D2 is your everyday, unlimited travel benefit. Hope this clears things up.

Thanks for that. I will for sure. On the other hand the IPT instructors were great and they went out of their way to help us out.
