United Airlines offers Observer Member of the Crew (OMC) jumpseating to eligible pilots and dispatchers of carriers that maintain reciprocal jumpseat agreements with United Airlines. Pilots and dispatchers contracted to operate within the United Express route system are granted a ‘K’ boarding priority while OAL/offline pilots are granted an ‘L’ boarding priority. Boarding will be first come first serve within the respective boarding category. UA now permits unlimited jumpseating on all domestic and international flights.

DOMESTIC: Pre-listing for OMC through UA’s reservation system is not required. OMC requests are processed by the agent at the departing gate (Domestic includes AK, HI and all U.S. Territories.) Per TSA and FAA requirements, offline pilots will initially be processed for a cabin seat. If the cabin seating is filled, the pilot will be processed for the flight deck jumpseat. Passports are no longer required for CASS verification.

INTERNATIONAL: Pre-listing for OMC through UA’s reservation system is not required. For US outbound flights, the check in process is conducted at the departure gate. For international inbound flights to the US, check in must be completed at the international station ticket counter. The pilot must pay all applicable departure fees and taxes for the specific flight. All offline international jumpseat travel is restricted to Cabin Seating only. In the event that UA imposes temporary international NRSA travel embargos, cabin seat jumpseats are not bound by these restrictions.

Jumpseaters seated in the cabin are not permitted to consume alcohol. Uniform or business casual attire is required. When boarding begins, please proceed to the cockpit and introduce yourself to the Captain, regardless of seat assignment. Pilots will be required to present a valid company ID, airmen and current medical certificates. The jumpseat access is the sole discretion of the Captain. Website: United Airlines ?
