Delta: Unlimited Jumpseats

Nice. Do they give you a seat at the gate, like Alaska/Horizon does? Any chance of domestic first class?
 
Awesome...now we need to get our jumpseat coordinators together so we can open the floodgates for us freight dawgs on mainline. At least at Airnet, we are CASS and about the only people we don't have agreements with are Delta, American, Continental, and United.

Come on guys/gals, give some freight dawgs some love!!!:)
 
Call 800 USA ALPA and ask to speak to Craig Stephens/Jumpseat Coordinator

I know we have a great jumpseat guy and he's working on it. We finally received CASS approval in the last few months, so hopefully that will help. I know he's also working on UPS and Fed Ex, so we'll see what happens in the next few months. Thanks for the info though!!!
 
I am glad that it has finally been changed! Does anyone know why it was that way in the first place? I am moving back to ATL at the end of 2007 and this is going to make the commute much easier.

To answer your question, Delta's jumpseat policy used to be that only 1 jumpseater was allowed in the cabin, even if there were 20 open seats. Now, they will take as many jumpseaters as there are open seats. (Which is more in line with other carriers, including XJT.):)
 
"Delta's jumpseat policy used to be that only 1 jumpseater was allowed in the cabin"

I can remember it wasn't that long ago where DL was the last holdout on not allowing ANY pilots to jumpseat.
 
Me too.

I don't know whether or not it was true, but I heard that the other employees couldn't jumpseat and that if they allowed those "unionized pilots" special perks the other non-unionized employees didn't have, well, that wouldn't be genteel.
 
I was in ATL on thursday the 11th. trying to js to SAV. On the 630pm flight I beat an airtran guy for the J/s. He was sad because he couldnt get on. Are all the gate agents aware of this change now?

Its great news!!
 
Should pop up right on the CASS screen.

CASS is hilarious. You'll go sign up for a jumpseat and then they look at you funny when they pull your data up.

"What?"

"You look just like your picture!"

"Uhh, aren't I supposed to?"
 
At least they can find your company.

"Is it Amerijet?"

"Nope"

"How about Ameristar? Is that the same company?"

"Nope, it's Ameriflight; it's a three letter identifier."

"You can't have that"

"Yes you can, type it in"

"No you can't, it's not in here."

"Just try it for me eh?"

"Oh it IS a three letter identifier, you can't do that."
 
Oh hell, I worked for skyWAY.

"Skywest?"

"No, Skyway..."

"HOOOO?!"

"It's SYX..."

"No syx in the computer..."

"Try Y8"

"That ain't Skywest..."

"I know, I work for SkyWAY!"

"Why is it Y8?"

"I dunno"

"Who are your a feeder for?"

"Midwest Express"

"Feeders got feeders now?"

"Aroo?!"
 
when on the west coast

"Who do you work for?"

"Piedmont"

"They went out of buisness a long time ago"

"well.......[should I explain that after USair bought Piedtmont their wholy owned feeder, Hensen, changed its name to Piedmont to reserve tradmark and copyright ownership and prevent another airline form using the name? To a person who can't get the pax count on 37 seater right? Hmmm.... maybe not].... just type US"

"But thats not who you work for"

[should I explain the wholey owned thing? and how our CASS system is administered by mainline?]

"They have my picture, though, I'll show it to you if you type it in"
 
Or with me....

"I work for Colgan"

"I don't care who you work for you are to ugly to jumpseat on our airplane."
