The issue comes in when you request the Jumpseat, and the agent replies with something along the lines of “I’ll let you know”. WRONG. They should issue you, and anyone else who asks for a Jumpseat, the “access” card. If the potential Jumpseaters can’t figure it out, any of them can go down the jetway to see the Captain to have him/her decide. (Hence the term “access”). Hope that clears it up👍
Cool. I think I’ve just been boned a few times by clueless gate agents that have given out the “awarded” card to more jumpseaters than there are jumpseats. 😎
