Anyone have any idea how much longer our LUS jumpseat reservation system will live?
We're going to St Thomas in the spring and I'd like to jumpseat to save some money (I'll by the AA20 fares for the wife/kids). If I can reserve the seat, I'll take the chance. If it goes to LAA's system, being so junior I don't know I'd want to take the chance I wouldn't get on.
I've heard various rumors...some that it'll last until at least SOC, which I hear is scheduled for summer sometime (it was April but I think it got pushed back a bit). I've heard they may keep it around for a while to let others try it out or develop a hybrid. And I've heard that APA wants to quash it pretty quick and go to their straight-seniority system. In any case, the LUS system has been awesome...it's very easy to predict when you can get a ride.
Thanks!
