Call out “Emergency”, not sick. I think you can “call out” by clicking buttons on sked+ without talking to anyone. It’s nobody’s business what your emergency is.

UA is free in back, a small fee in first class.
AA 100$ annual fee for employee, dependents pay a small fee per leg flown.
You will have the lowest boarding priority, expect to never get a seat in first as they all go to upgrades these days.
Do we have to register to fly on SW metal? I have delta bennies already through propel, but obviously on SW metal, I want to list as a SW emp, not DL

I find the use of “abracadabra” in low tones helps to really kill all drama. Get as much time off as you need.

No idea what Propel has, probably higher pri then a SKW employee. As a SKW employee then yes you'd need to pay the annual DL fee to list on SKW metal connection flights, even to jumpseat.

We don’t have to pay the annual fee to list for the jumpseat on Delta, but if we don’t pay the fee then we have no opportunity to flow to the back if the jumpseat is taken by someone else. You’re smart and probably know this, just wanted to clarify for those that are new.

Also, on OO metal, we are supposed to have higher JS priority over pilots from other companies. Of course, Gate Agents don’t follow this rule, but its supposed to be that way.

I've heard that but it comes with mixed results depending on the agent. You're OO, what's your PPR?, not recommended if your planning on commuting.

Good point, thanks for the tip! I know Gate Agents are dealing with a lot, but I do worry about them not giving out the seat with out the right priority.

This is why guys need to do “the walk”. It’s up to the captain to ensure it’s filled in proper order us there’s more than one jump seater looking for a ride.
