Yes, some aircraft have 2 jump seats.
Jumpseat reservations can be made online or via an automated phone system starting at 1200 Eastern with the following lead times:
Traveling TO work: 5.5 days in advance
Traveling FROM work: 3.5 days in advance
Personal travel: 1.5 days in advance
This arrangement removes a LOT of the commuting stress one would otherwise have if seniority ruled the jumpseat (like it does at some other airlines).
