I go to MiCrew, search for flights and available jump seats. MiCrew showing JS available for the flight I want. I reserve it. It confirms and shows up under the "Booked" tab. Show up to gate 1hr prior to check in and the agent says someone else is listed for the JS. Check in with CA, they open up MiCrew and my name is there as the JS'er. However, the gate agent will not board me as I am not the listed JS'er on their computer. So wait to see if the other JS'er shows, they never do (becasue I am on listed on the JS). Get the JS. These are not FAA people, the gate agent can see that.
One time the other person actually showed up. They showed the JS on MiCrew booked tab and I showed the same (only one JS on this type of aircraft). Gate agent checked the computer and I was listed on the JS. That other pilot was a NH. That time I was able to get on another flight later thanks to the gate agent and I let the NH take the JS so they could get to work (I was going up a day early, their report was that same day)..
Have any of you seen this before? It's really strange. Seems like something is goofy between the MiCrew and the gate agents system. Except for the one occasion I listed above, the "other" JS'er never materialized.
I book my JS (if required) well in advance, so this is not a last minute type of event.
Not EXACTLY the same situation, but similar:
Commuting to work. Get on MiCrew, 1200 Mecca time 3 1/2 days prior. Select flight, shows 2 jumpseats available. I select, go through the normal “not a robot” proof, and it says “Error - Jumpseat is already booked”. Sounds like what you’re describing, but when I get to the gate, agent says no one listed for the jumpseat. That’s been at least a year ago though and no issues since.
