If you get a seat in the cabin on ANY OTHER AIRLINE (unless using a ZED), then you need to check-in with the captain.

What is the benefit, exactly, if any? Will the company pay for ground transportation, or something?

Also MobileCCI was not discussed at all besides using it to schedule your A1/A3 travel when I went through initial ground school. Bugging my mentor about it usually got all the info I needed though.

Well I learned something new today. I was trying to pick up some flying going on today and when I called they rejected it saying I only had 8 days off. I asked them to look again as I have 9 days off on my end.
That's when they realized that I do have 9 days, however since one of them was a dropped day, it doesn't go into my pool of days off, and I cannot pick up OT on any of my remaining days off as it would bring me under 8 total days off.
