When I interviewed back in May, I was told that reserve times at LGA and DCA were relatively short( 2 months ) . Is that still holding true?

Are you in the August 7th class? I'm also hoping for DCA

You mean on other than partner flights using benefits? ZED fares start after 6 months.

Captain Slow

Flight benefits for codeshare partners (if you choose to enroll) start 30 days from date of hire if I remember right. ZED fares can be purchased after you have been employed for 6 months.

You can jumpseat when you get your badge, which is also typically about 30 days from date of hire (they normally hold the badges till everyone's PRIA comes back... companies have 30 days to respond and will often use every last minute)

But for the love of all things please read up on Jumpseat etiquette on Jumpseatinfo, and on nonrev travel etiquette in general. I've had three of our own guys in training in the last couple months try to sit in the JS without their certificate and medical, and one was telling us how he tried to jump home on mainline and they turned him down because he was wearing shorts and flip flops.

Don't be that guy.

Yea I read about the etiquette on that awhile back. Somare some trainees flying home on the weekends?

I did it once during training. It's pretty risky if you don't have a backup plan for getting back to class.....but I did it anyway. Most stay at St. Louis the entire duration of training unless there's a holiday. The company positive spaced those who wanted to travel over Thanksgiving 2015 when I was in class.

With four or more days off in a row (I believe the magic number was four) they contractually have to give you the option to travel home space positive.
