Sorry for the thread hijack, this is my last question about jumpseating. Just wanted to avoid starting a whole new thread.
If ya'll had a EWR base, I'd probably throw in an app
No change. the "guarantee" is inside of 24 hours. But there are many reasons to be bumped. Aircraft change, operational emergency, check airman, DOD courier etc.
