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.

Best to go home because they don't cover the hotel in that period.
