I think you still have to call scheduling to get released when you return from every trip.

Ya I should have disclaimer-ed, I have never had a composite line, but I have sat on the edge of one for a few months, so I have been asking people a ton of questions about them. A girl I know just had one, and she got all the days off she wanted by emailing swaps/drops (which you need to do now), and that included some weekends.

Down in South Florida, the apt complex's use this software that jacks up the price, and a week before something is up for rent it lowers the price. I my lease sends at the end of Sept, so if for some reason I cant get something I will be in big trouble.
With the growth of the base down there, I hope all my frustrations and posting on here, does help someone else down the road, I have posted/got posted back at, with great info, that would have been a huge help when I first started looking.

I am interviewing on Wednesday, and I have read in my Pre-Interview packet that commuting is not recommended during probation. After completing training, how long does probation last? Also, what is the AE policy on buddy passes, and are they good on AA? I know the non-rev policy is great for family, but what about taking a friend on an occasional trip?

AA/AE has a slight different buddy pass system than some others, your limited to how many people you can list as "D3" which is the code for buddy passes, and you can only edit it once per year. Like most other airlines you also only get so many one way legs per year. You are not eligible for D3 enrollment till 24 months of employment.
