We have access to all AA flight loads. You will know how many seats are open, who is listed, and where you are on the list. This is only available (as far as I know) to wholly owned pilots and employees (PSA/PDT/Envoy) and mainline AA pilots. Other carriers, even if they fly American Eagle airplanes can not check this. If any other regionals have access, I am not aware of it.
On PSA airplanes, PSA pilots have priority on the jumpseat, no matter the time of check in. So even if you check in last, you have priority over other airline pilots, including mainline AA pilots.
