But I do believe now one has to go to the desk/gate and ask to jumpseat.
Wrong (as ShyGuy usually is). They just changed their procedures two days ago. You still call to list for a jumpseat, just make sure you tell them you are a jumpseater, not a non-rev. If you're jumpseating domestically, the agents are still required to list you at the gate if you didn't list on the phone, but listing on the phone will make your life much easier. Communications are going out soon to the Spirit pilot group.
If you have any problem with a jumpseat at any time, email the jumpseat committee. I landed at midnight last night and would have gotten back to you immediately.
