Why hasn't United figured out a way to make your enrolled parties self pay? If United wants to charge for what should be a free privilege, fine... but why dump it all on the employee? Make the parents, friends pay for it rather than having us involved too trying to get our money back.
'cause they don't want you using the "benefit". They'd rather you think its just too much trouble and stay off their already overcrowded airplanes. I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to take nonrev benefits away from the uax carriers entirely.

How much longer can these 145's be around for? I thought they were being phased out....

So every time your domestic partner and or friend fly a leg it's $25/50 a segment? And from what I understand, 1st Class is a rarity.
So most trips will be 2 segments each way (unless one lives in base) which means most Nonrev trips will be $100 (domestic) or $200 (international + taxes) round trip.
Am I understanding this correctly? If so, it makes the Delta benefits heaps better.

I can't speak for the rest of the benefits that TSA has these days, so I won't comment on the rest of them. But international first class has always been easier for me than domestic. It was true at Comair (on Delta) and it's true at UA.

Sort of. I work for UA, and commute to Guam, so I go through NRT all the time. I have found that international first class is actually much easier to get than domestic, because there are more seats, and those seats are more expensive. I don't get first all the time, but I get it at least half the time. Like any other travel, you need to be a bit flexible to stack the deck in your favor. The first class for us on international is not free, but it's worth the money for the comfort, food, and rest.

After many long hours and error-checking, the flash card decks are ready for primetime! My friend and I (both in the 14th class) double-checked every last word for accuracy. If you guys find anything we missed, let us know. Happy studying!

Like I said before, Anki is a great study app. You can put it on your laptop, Android, or iPhone. They're all free except iPhone for whatever reason is $5 I think (for the app, not our database). Also, when studying on your phone, the cards are way better if you hold the phone sideways (landscape view).

Ill take a look. I use quizlet which is free on both the laptop and iPad. Similar flashcard system with different ways of testing yourself. If you make an account for quizlet...type in EMB-145 limitations/memory items and you'll find my set. I included a lot of stuff that wasn't boxed just to try and learn some additional information. Thanks again

You guys can also buy Microsoft flight sim and buy the erj145 payware to help study. I used it to practice my memory, limitations, flows, and call outs. Just a suggestion.

If only I had enough space on my laptop. Good suggestion though! What do you think thoughts would be on using a GoPro in the simulator sessions during training? Thought about this the other day as a way to get some additional practice with callouts and flows while critiquing myself.
