If you really need to get there you get a pass that will put you ahead of all other non revs. And if you are in the middle of a connection then you will also be aged in the line. If they did what you are suggesting then people would walk up to the counter 20 before departure and try to get onthe flight asthey do with the j/s, that would make a night mare for commuters.
Looks like you were hired on late 2010, so you are obviously an expert on all things related to those big shiny things that fly through the sky.

Flywife and Rick,
One started looking up info for her "?yet to start training?" husband just a couple month ago, the other only have been hired 7 months ago at his first regional. I can't believe the the arrogant/ know it all attitude the both of you have.
Maybe Rick can non-rev you on his AWESOME travel benefit to one of his overnights and you two can talk about how great eagle is.

For the twenty years I've been here, it's always been a first come, first served process. My wife and I travel frequently and have NEVER heard any employee complain about the process - which I really like, btw. The system encourages people to get on the standby list as early as possible (up to 24 hours ahead) and rewards those who get on the list as early as possible. As far as I'm concerned, AA/AE has the best non rev system in the business. That's only my opinion and others will surely disagree.

The only problem I really have with AA/AE benefits is that you have to pay per leg and pay for an upgrade to first class. When we had DAL benefits, we paid like $50 up front per person to get the benefits and didn't pay anything else unless we traveled overseas, and then we only paid airport taxes.

Besides, you guys don't go anywhere I can't get to on our company equipment and our JS capabilities are just as good as yours my young friend.
