Regardless of the policy, and we are unlimited by the way as someone mentioned, you still have to get past the gate agent. Make the walk, check the gate for fellow commuters.
Not to keep adding to it, but also when you are faced with a couple of non commuter crew members and don't give a flying arse about it, rare, but possible.

Not quite. AA offers Spirit pilots unlimited access to any open seat in the cabin or flight deck on domestic AA flights only.

Plan on being in MIA. You will be on a set pay/per diem for class. They are going to try and cut costs by sending FLL based guys to the FLL sims for recurrent. That means no per diem and hotel anymore. Not saying you won't be in FLL but not as likely as a new hire. Besides MIA has 3 or 4 of the new sims.

MIA is not bad. Latin Cafe to the left of the hotel (best fried pork with rice and beans around), Catch of the Day--across the street (gotta get the fried red snapper upon completion of the type, and yes a bucket of beer), and the little cubano place by Airbus (outside and to the right). Great Cafe con Lenche (or however you spell it less say it)--and the view is nice depending on whos working that day

I keep hearing about this coffee , I assume I stay in the same hotel even if my sims are in MIA?

They will send you to an hotel in Miami. I think it's a Holiday Inn if I remember. Pay with cash in the area. Got my credit card info stolen twice from places around the airport.
