I believe JD is referring to the fact that as an AMR new-hire, you can not non-rev on any AMR carrier until you have 6 months with the company. Jumpseating is included in that. So you can't ride the jumpseat on your own airline until 6 months!

I must be misunderstanding what you mean. You can non-rev on AE and AA by the end of the first week...as soon as you get your ID and your jetnet account is working. I've non-revved and ridden jumpseat Eagle CRJ's at least 4-5 times between DFW and CLE. I've also ridden (in the cabin) on Comair and Delta; and both up front (via the new CASS program) and in the back on Continental.

Only trouble I had- yesterday morning in fact- was a hiccup with CAL's computers (they said they've been having some trouble with the new system)...it said "j/s privelages denied," apparently its happened several times. Despite me telling him not to worry about it because I would've just caught a different flight, the captain was nice enough to leave the aircraft to go down to the CP's office (in CLE) and have my privelages verified so I could get on. Very cool of him indeed! He said he rides on Eagle all the time and wanted to do anything he could to make sure any Eagle guy gets on. I couldn't thank him enough!

Congrats again, jd! Hopefully your process will go a little smoother than mine has. The training department seems to be having a bit of trouble scheduling aircraft training. My first trip on IOE was supposed to be Sunday, now I might not even have my a/c checkride until next weekend. Yesterday both of us F/O's got sent home to sit around and collect per diem while we wait for them to schedule our checkrides.
