If you looking for anything above 15 days off, pdt isn't the place for you. Expect 11-15 days off line. Maybe one day it'll change once we get longer segment but don't expect too many days off as a junior person.
There're many good things here at pdt unfortunately schedule isn't one of them.
Come to pdt for fast movement/quick upgrade/pay/flow/stability and potential. Don't come here and expect many days off (at least for now)

go to the emp.piedmont site.. follow the link for NRTP or non rev travel.. set up your account.. list yourself... you would have to do the same to jump seat.
You can't jumpseat in the cockpit till you complete your LOE checkride to be a qualified line pilot. That is really really important. There was an issue with people jumpseating that were not qualified and a group of unsuspecting mainline pilots got into a lot of trouble..

That's interesting... When I was at Trans States we were in CASS and were encouraged to jumpseat in the first week of groundschool. Did it all the time in training. Same for my friends at XJT, AWAC, Mesa, C5.... I think this no jumpseating thing may just be a PDT and/or AA thing. Either that, or majority of the airlines are breaking the rule.

Are we positive its a hard set rule that you can't jumpseat prior to your checkride? My first week I was in CASS and KCM. I rode JS during my three month training vacation quite frequently. Didn't get in trouble, and I know for a fact the AA crew didn't either. I remember them mentioning not to JS, but it was just in passing and I haven't seen that rule written anywhere. CASS and KCM= jumpseat privilege as far as the FAA is concerned, right??

It's not a PDT thing because the rule doesn't exist. If you're in CASS you're able to jumpseat wherever you want at Piedmont. I had a month off between ground and sim as a new hire and I jumped all over the place, and was encouraged to do so. Just don't get stuck anywhere and miss a training event.
