Ya I have other pilot buddies who usually go with but we just list as jumpseaters and almost always make it on......Except on American because of there dumb jumpseat policy of only letting 1 jumpseater list even if there 50 open seats in the back......Gotten screwed by them before.

There are lots of hostels around temple bar. Stayed at a nice one with a friend just across the river from the bars. About a 5 minute walk and 10 minute stumble. Hostels.com is a great place to use to find a place.

I believe the hotel United owns in Honolulu is available to UAX crews. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of it, but maybe you can find it on these forums. A couple UA FAs owned my old crashpad in Denver and they said if you go there it is not really that expensive for a room short walk to the beach and cheap drinks.

I'm pretty sure AA doesn't have the one jumpseater policy.

Oh, btw, how much would it cost to non-rev to Ireland? Approximately of course. I know every airline is different for the most part. Any approximations will do. Just trying to get a rough estimate for travel expenses. I would either go non-rev on USAir or UAL.

I'd like to start using my bennies as much as possible to actually see the world and all

You can never go wrong with Cancun. We've all been there at least once or twice in our career, but it never get's old...

I would also suggest Aruba. I had a blast the last time I was there.

Well I'm 110% sure they do with 9E since I've run into the problem before as I said in my previous post........I heard majors are not restricted but with most regionals it works as I previously stated.
