About the only time we will operate single pilot is if we have nine passengers booked on the short Van (8 seats in the back) and we have to put a passenger up front.

Very good question and you will learn more about this during indoc.

Thanks so much for all of your input! It has been very helpful. I am actually strongly considering living in DFW if I absolutely have to. Im just worried about not making it from AUS. Do you know of any crashpads in MEM at the moment?

As far as DFW is concerned, be aware that at this time, we do not have jumpseat privileges on American or Envoy.

Depends. FOs are wither getting 2 or 3 days off per week. Extrapolate that out over a month and you get a good idea. We don't necessarily run a month to month schedule. There are times the bid could be effective over several consecutive months.

We are staring service to Great Bend and Wichita, KS in June. As far as Athens in concerned, nothing definitive has been put out to the pilot group as of lately.

So....is there a class in July? How big will the next class be? Do I need to withdraw my app and resume from the fluid review and then resubmit. I may be in Memphis next month. Should I stop by the signature and submit a resume in person?

Be sure that your looking in the right area in regards to Jumpseat information. It maybe easy to confuse pass travel vs Jumpseat travel. If you have Jumpseat questions, pass them along to the committee.

Jumpseaters, remember FedEx delivers. I have had numerous Seaport guys j/s with us. Just first ask around about how we do reservations, sign-in, show time and standard customs and courtesies so things go smoothly.

To add... if the Jumpseat Committee is not informed of problems, then the problems do not officially exist and contacting other airline jumpseat coordinators does no good unless there are good facts to present to the other airline.

So again, if you have an issue, please, please contact the Jumpseat Committee so the problem can be addressed properly.
