Can anyone tell me what the policy is for listing for the jumpseat and then not making it? I know some airlines, such as FedEx, take not cancelling a jumpseat listing pretty seriously, while others pretty much don't care (AA, UA, etc). I always try to cancel with other airlines through myIDtravel if I know it's not going to work out and I have the time and opportunity, but I can't seem to find anyplace to cancel a jumpseat listing on Spirit's website.
Does anyone even care as long as I don't check in? I always wait to check in until I know I'm going to need the ride/make it.

Sounds like something to send to our jumpseat coordinator / committee so they can talk to APA’s jumpseat committee.
This is the second story I have heard about AA giving jumpseaters a hard time about having 3 bags. I imagine they probably blacklist Fkight attendants because I rarely see any flight attendants with less than 3 bags.

Not that it matters to me if they made me check my bag. However I’m sure our jumpseat committee would hear about it, if our agents starts charging offline pilots and FA $65 for their 3rd bag because it’s the rules.

Not everything is black and white, Admiral.
Are you guys still required to gate check your carry on bags when jump seating on your own metal?

What kind of self respecting pilot really needs to care if another pilot has 2 or 3 bags?
Also, uniformed crew are actually exempt from the 2 bag rule. I dont know the exact reference, but its in the regs and company policies. Out of uniform an agent can make you check one, however not for a fee.

Haha. I really gotta hand it to the guys who bring a cooler full of food they prepped before coming to work. They really have their life together. I’m lucky if I remember to bring enough underwear and clothes for the overnight and I’m usually packing 5 minutes after I should have left for the airport. But to each their own. The best are the FOs that bring homemade beef jerky to share...
