Exactly the info Im after, thank you much!

Speaking of, for those familiar with commuting out of DFW, any airports easier to commute to from personal experience for the junior bases, LAS/FLL/MCO?

What’s this “reserve the jumpseat” you speak of for DFW to IAH flights? FedEx via IND?

Vegas
 
As a new hire who has been assigned Vegas, and I plan on staying at this base. How long to hold a line at this location? Thanks for your time in advance

Haha, I was wondering the same thing?? Is this a new airline secret? NK pilots ahead of SWA pilots out of DAL???

Cool story bro. What Spirit flight number is DFW-IAH?

I’ll save you the time, there isnt a flight. So the poster who thought you just “reserve the jumpseat” for that difficult DFW to IAH commute, ain’t happening. Nothing to reserve.

Yeah thats my stupidity, when I looked at the route map I didn’t make sure its a direct flight! LAS it is then hopefully!

Don’t get butt hurt because you posted something without reading. Reading is fundamental.
