FDX and Alpa have very good disability, loss of license programs. Some optional some automatic. All things being equal, a senior 767 pilot could hold a very good quality of life schedule living in SAN. I have been here 17 years and can hold the SAN line about half the time. If that isn’t an option for a while SAN has pretty good commute options to any of the other seats.

Myidtravel will refund him money because he didn't get a "seat". All very legitimate and above the board.

So if I live in a city that is hard to jumpseat to I can buy a ZED ticket and get ahead of any other jumpseater and as long as there aren't any seats in the back, I get to ride up front for free ahead of anyone else that may have listed before me?

You must take an exam every 6 months and you will book through www.myidtravel.com Its very easy to book and check loads.
My family of four went to Paris over thanksgiving last year(made every flight) and we've made multiple trips to visit family in the Detroit area this year. It is a benefit that we have access to if some don't won't to use it because of the "aggravation" that's cool.
But don't let anyone tell you it can't be done.

Thanks!
Thanks!
Only you have to take the test every 6 months to remind yourself to remind your dependents that if they don't behave and wear proper attire on the other carrier, you'll lose this benefit.
