It's definitely possible, even if you don't get it right away it shouldn't take long to get in.

That's nice to know. So being the more junior equipment, it is easier for some one to get what they want compare to the RJ, hence the higher QOL?

Pretty much, you can get a base of your choosing quicker than the RJ and hold a line quicker than the RJ, generally speaking.

Thanks
You do not in new hire training. You do in transition or upgrade training.
***Unless you are SLC based for upgrade/transition.

That's why some will attempt to transfer out of SLC the month prior to their training. I knew a guy who did this on 08, his class ended up getting canceled causing him to have to commute for the next year+ until he could get back in.... DOH!

Thanks!

Depends what you mean by 'companion pass'. It also slightly depends on which base you're at and which carrier you fly for.

Most of us have Delta buddy passes, United stopped giving buddy passes awhile ago but has a new companion program where you can throw one or two specific travelers on your benefits depending if you are married or not. And even though I'm the 'travel guy' I can't tell you off the top of my head if US Air, AA or Alaska has buddy passes available.

Perhaps someone who is based in SEA (AS), LAX (AA) or PHX (US Air) and is more familiar with those programs can chime in. Overall we do enjoy some pretty decent travel bennies.

Can you or someone please explain the travel bennies.

Since SKW flies for UAL, DAL, AA, US Air & Alaska, so do SKW guys get to fly on all the majors they fly for??

How does that work??

Five majors! United benefits are free for all employees unless you want to add an enrolled friend or two. Delta benefits cost $200/year for all employees. US airways benefits cost $50 per person available to all employees.

Only LA based RJ crews are allowed to have American benefits. Only PDX and SEA based RJ crews are allowed to have Alaska benefits.
