So The carrier doesn't matter (delta, UAL, Alaska, etc. ) as long as it's a skywest flight correct?? I will be making the commute from COS to training and there are direct delta flights. Would like to do that but i couldn't during interview cause there were no UAL flights out of COS.

CASS entry took 3 full weeks for our ground school class. I was able to jumpseat home on the last weekend before our systems exam.

How long does it take spouses to get in the system? If my wife wants to catch a flight two weeks into my training should I expect her to have the benefits in swing or would I be better off buying her a ticket now?

Each partner has different time frames for eligibility. AA is 6 month. I think 90-180days is about right for most partners.

AA benefits indeed take 6 months from hire. I can't remember the details on Alaska benefits but I believe they only apply to Skywest operated Alaska flights, which is a pretty small route network. Fortunately UA and DL fly almost everywhere.

Thank you... But you don't want to hear my thoughts on commuting to reserve and not getting a single call to fly, as is happening to me and a bunch of other guys. I joined to fly airplanes, not sit in a hotel room 19 days/month without flying. I have no idea how guys commute to reserve over the long term. The only flying I've done after training has been flying I've picked up on my off days by calling and asking to have it added. Definitely not a happy camper right now...
