So AE pilots can not jumpseat on AA equipment? They have to pay $15 to jumpseat?

Eaglefly, all of your points are valid
I can only speak for myself, and I am actually happy that I moved on from AE. I only blame me for my POOR choosing and job hunt prior to getting on with them. But that's part of the industry.

I wish only the best for my good friends that still there. Better schedules, definitely better salaries and quicker upgrades.

Sailor.

No one pays for a jumpseat however, any AMR employee with under 5 years with the company has to pay the service fee to ride in the back. If you get a jumpseat no money comes out of your pocket.

IMHO...this is crap. I don't agree with the gas/car thingy either. I can be standing in Terminal B at DFW in 15 min from my apartment, so to me, I'm paying double to go to work.

It's all good tho. I play the game and work the system enough to cut down on the amount of times I have to commute.

Ain't nut'n I can do about it so why b!t#h?

Yes they can.

Commuting to/from work every week. It isn't $15 to jump-seat.

Coach has a value predetermine by the route so does Buss or First Class.

It works out in avrg, 3 hr flt, MD80-757 (2007) $16 COACH $20.50 FIRST
ONE WAY.

If coach if full, you are to take and pay FIRST, if that is full, JS seat by SEN.

All taken from you paychk and tracked on Company Site.
ONE GREAT THING ABOUT AA/AE = JETNET

Cockpit JS is FREE.

In order to avoid paying, can you just say you are sitting up front and once you get on the plane and talk to the captain, just go find a seat in the back; or do they automatically charge you if there is any empty seat on the plane?

Doesn't work that way. The agent controlls your fate. If there is a seat in the back, they have to give it to you. There has been once or twice when there was a seat still left open and I had a 1W ticket. Depending where it was ment if I took it or not.

I won't have my birth certificate by my interview next week. Is that going to be an issue for hiring? In fact, it's going to take 6-9 weeks. I have EVERYTHING else on the list they sent me. Any advice?

What are your times/background? It says you are a CFI. Were you in the hiring pool before?
