American Airlines Jumpseat “Meal Listing”
Procedure Clarification Using ‘myIDTravel’
This Jumpseat Alert updates MEC Alert 13-07 issued Summer 2013. It serves as a clarification to the procedures in place when making jumpseat listings (aka “meal listings”) on American Airlines (AA) and those carriers performing code share for American. Pilots are encouraged to use this procedure and become familiar with the format. Note that the former procedure using ID90.com, is no longer valid for this purpose.
The following "generic airline user" link, provided by myIDTravel.com, has been specifically developed for the purpose of AA jumpseat meal listings. Bookmarking this link is recommended for repeated use:
https://www.myidtravel.com/myidtravel/start?action=login-generic
The “generic” link above may also be accessed by the shortened address as follows:
http://myidtravel.com/myidlisting
Important Notes:
·Use only the "generic” link(s) above when making jumpseat meal listings on AA. Avoid simply navigating to myIDTravel.com (without the appropriate extension) or attempting to access myIDTravel through Delta/TravelNet. Doing so will lead to a non-generic login page not suitable for making jumpseat meal listings. Use caution after logging out of the generic site. Subsequent login attempts will be unsuccessful because the non-generic link may automatically populate in the address bar. The generic link(s) above must be reentered.
·An online listing using this procedure is strongly recommended and preferred in order to expedite the process for Delta and other airline (OA) pilots requesting the jumpseat on AA and its code share affiliates.
·Existing meal listings can be rolled to ensuing AA flights as requested by the jumpseater when accommodations are not available on the desired flight.
·The AA non-revenue listing number, (888) WEFLYAA, remains operational. Note, however, that wait times can be lengthy and agents will often direct OA personnel to list online during heavy call volume periods.
·It is recommended that several practice listings be made using the following procedure in order to become familiar with this procedure. As tedious and burdensome as this procedure may seem, we feel that entering several practice listings will be helpful. Do not worry about canceling listings as they will automatically clear if not activated by an AA agent.
