Rules of standby are NORMALLY first flight or last flight out are your best bets. Now if everyone else gets bumped from flights the rest of the day, the last flight is not so good. I ain't getting up a 1 AM to drive to BNA to catch that first flight, though.

The best part about my job now is that I don't have to only non rev on delta or united, any airline jumpseat is open! Yup...........ahhhhh......(opening my belt.....sitting back in the lounge chair.......poppin open a cold one............and falling over)....hehehe........the first time I tried to jumpseat I didn't realize I could get on any plane so I kept trying to look for DAL or UAL. Now I just walk up to the board and see my city and go to that airline. Gotta love the few and only perks!
I think I'll be arriving around 1pm'ish on saturday if anyones up for giving a poor new pilot a ride! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
