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.

I am having flashbacks of the Colonel's wife wearing his rank. Lady you have so much to learn about this industry. (we all do) but just a month ago you didn't know what an airplane was (exaggerating a bit) and now you chime this in. The system works on priority of who checks in first. That way is fair for everyone. 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.

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.

NAH, in all honesty. I'm bored and its fun to ruffle some feathers and listen to people cry about how great their airline is. Especially newbies to 121. Also, I don't Jumpseat on AE. the 145 cockpit sux and way to cramped. 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.
