Delta Jumpseat

I'm an Eagle pilot and fly Delta's jumpseat all the time and have yet to have a bad experience. Typically the gate agents know what they are doing and the crews are all really nice minus the occasional tool that you run into from time to time no matter what airline. On two separate occasions on full flights, I've had Delta pilots offer to sit on the flight attendant jumpseat just so that I could get on. A big thank you to all the Delta guys and gals.

That said, does anyone know a non rev phone number I could call to check loads? I've tried their res number before and they do answer your questions there but if there is a non rev number I'll call it. I'm trying to fly ATL-SLC tomorrow 9/20 and I am trying to figure out if I have a reasonable chance before going that route.

Thanks all.
 
1105 has 11 open seats with 29 non-revs
236 has 9 open seats with 7 non-revs
1231 has 11 open seats with 11 non-revs
1427 has 20 open seats with 15 non-revs
131 has 4 open seats with 22 non-revs
1787 has 5 open seats with 12 non-revs
1835 has 20 open seats with 15 non-revs
 
Thanks for taking time to post this! I'm not an expert at reading this but I think it looks pretty full so I might need to figure an alternate plan.

Thanks again!

Love that the gate agents treat offline guys better than the DCI guys.

Sorry, I'm just not a big fan of it all since June 23rd.
 
Thanks for the updated info!

Don't feel bad Kellwolf. You definitely aren't alone. Here at AMR, the Eagle folks aren't treated the best in most cases by AA gate agents.

We have offline jumpseaters on AA flights in first when AA/Eagle sit in back instead due to being charged for riding up front. I personally have no problem with this as I certainly want to treat the offline guys as good as possible in order to reciprocate. It's just a bad company policy in my opinion.

Non-rev and jumpseat are one of the few remaining benefits we have that are worth much and when it's difficult or a hassle to use when it doesn't have to be, it makes you ask why?

I, along with others at AMR are on a mission to change this culture. I always bring chocolates for gate agents and crew when offline jumpseating. I've started giving these to the AA/Eagle agents and crew. In most of the cases, I've seen a 180 on the attitudes so I do see it working in certain cases.

Anyway, hopefully things will change for the better for you DCI guys.

Amen to that!
 
Every regional pilot gets treated better offline. Why that is? I have no idea. My friend flies for expressjet and says he gets treated so nice on NWA, much better than CAL treats him.

But I will say this, 99% of the time, I have been treated great by NW crews/gate agents/etc..
 
I was always treated very nice when I was jumpseating, even by Alaska. The Alaska agents were really good about putting you down as a jumpseater (instead of non-rev) so you wouldn't have to pay the $15/$20 for a first class seat.
 
UAL always treated me well, but I got furloughed before I could experience the "enhanced travel benefits" (AKA pay UAL money for what used to be free.)

Time was, there was no such thing as the Delta jumpseat. For it's pilots or others.
