That's great news! My wife missed four United flights this Monday. More options can only be a better thing!

Let's all remember that while these new online listing procedures are time savers and are handy, it is the policy of Spirit Airlines to accommodate all jumpseat requests at the ticket counters, service counters, or the departure gate. Walk ups are welcome.

The agents can clear a pilot (on line or OAL) through CASS at the above locations, provided you appear in a timely and reasonable fashion to process such requests. Any and all incidents of refusal or restriction of Jumpseat access should immediately be brought to the attention of the captain. If unable, be professional and notify all Jumpseat committees or coordinators with full details.

In addition, A Flight Attendant or certificated airman of another airline that Spirit Airlines has a reciprocal jumpseat agreement with may occupy the extra available F/A jumpseat. Available F/A Jumpseats:

· A319-L1 inboard jumpseat · A320-No jumpseat· A321-R4 folding jumpseat (someone verify this one?)

Fly safe and welcome aboard.

I also jumpseated for about 18months on NK religiously every week and during my tenure on the NK Jumpseat, priority was given to time of listing and in some cases check-in, which can be done online up to 24hrs prior. The knowledge from CSA to CSA on the matter sometimes differed/varied so I always tried to show up an hr prior also to be sure of my priority. I'd also like a clarification on the new procedures as to whether OAL priority is given to time of listing, online check-in or Gate Check-in(CASS verification). Thanks

Guys, if anyone has a concern about priorities, please go to your airline's jumpseat coordinator and have them contact me, or if you're a Spirit pilot, contact me directly. All I was trying to do is get the word out about our new way of listing. Also, if you need the code, you have to go though your airline's jumpseat coordinator. They have it, and are probably getting it out to the pilot groups as we speak.

Thanks,

RK

Thank you for that info, RP4242.
Fantastic news!
AA and DAL next...

I appreciate jumseat policies which allow for unlimited jumpseaters, regardless of number of jumpseats installed.
NK also offers FA jumpseats.

Just as an FYI, Southwest DOES NOT require a listing prior to showing up for the jump seat. It is a courtesy and much appreciated by the agents, but NOT required. If an agent gives you grief simply ask another agent nearby to do it and mention the issue to the flight deck crew when you board so the agent can be corrected.
