Just noticed, LGA Poll, well I voted anyway.
Anyone can vote.

Looks like Westbrook was not being totally honest:

There has been much discussion about the Flight Deck Jumpseat. In June of 2015 the APA Board of Directors tasked American Airlines to create a hybrid version of listing for the jumpseat. The Hybrid System for reservation of the Integrated Voice Response (IVR) System for the Jumpseat would be as follows:

7 days and 4 hours from the day of travel (the 4 hours was an AA IT issue) anyone could reserve a jumpseat. At 3 days prior to the flight, the jumpseat would be awarded to the most senior pilot who reserved the jumpseat during the initial first 4 days and 4 hours. Inside of three days prior to the flight, if no pilot had signed up for the jumpseat, it would be awarded to the first pilot requesting the reservation.

American's IT Department has had some difficulties creating what was originally required by the the APA Board of Directors, but recently APA and AA have begun discussing developement of the hybrid system. Considering much time has elapsed since the original direction was given, we wanted to poll the LGA Domicile to see what type of Jumpseat Reservation System you would prefer. Please take the time to complete this simple 1 question poll.
